I'm not sure about a lot of this, but your regular expressions for
determining if something matches "MMK" or "MMS" need more refining. To wit...

You're confusing character classes and alternation. The above means
(without regard to case) "MMS", "MM|", or "MMK". What you want is merely...
... /MM[SK]/i...
To quote the Camel, (p. 64, Second Edition)...
...[fee|fie|foe] means the same thing as [feio|].
