This catches sentences too
Especially sentences
My regex powers aren't strong enough, will that catch words with hyphens in them?
Yes, this catches just anything, hyphens, digits, spaces, ...
...pokémons, ...
I named them all "John".
Fuck and you
Not so cunning, Mr. Linguist?
Every word.
Oh I'm too cunning to fall for that
I was gonna do it, but does ą go before or after ä, ā, or å alphabetically?
In swedish, ä, ö and å come at the end of the alphabet
Neat :3.. I honestly don't know where they are in other alphabets, lol, im just going by my own for the joke. In lithuanian the letters with diacritics follow after the letters without a ą b c č d e ę ė.. so on :3
In German they have the same weight. Mostly, I guess with everything else being equal ä comes after a.
And "ß" is sorted as if it was "ss". Some will sort "ä" as "ae" and so on but that's uncommon

Just a proser.
Needs more jpeg artifacts
