:: Well, the '''if''' ··· '''IS'''. That is, the ''someone'' is Rosetta Code (or at least, the holder of that file), and the '''Textonyms/wordlist''' dictionary file does contain duplicate words, and it is referred to as a possible example dictionary to use (from the Rosetta Code task description). It shouldn't have to be massaged or piped though a filter to solve this Rosetta Code task. Furthermore, the ''uniq'' or ''sort'' isn't necessary to weed out duplicates. Of course, that is, if duplicate words are to be rejected/ignored, and so far, nobody has rung that bell yet. I went proactive (for the REXX programming solution) and ignored/rejected duplicate words as it appeared the correct manner in handling duplicates. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:27, 10 February 2015 (UTC) |
