:: Well, the '''if''' &nbsp; ··· &nbsp; '''IS'''. &nbsp; That is, the &nbsp; ''someone'' &nbsp; is Rosetta Code (or at least, the holder of that file), and the '''Textonyms/wordlist''' dictionary file does contain duplicate words, and it (the dictionary file) is referred to as a possible example dictionary to use (from the Rosetta Code task description). &nbsp; It shouldn't have to be massaged or piped though a filter to solve this Rosetta Code task. &nbsp; Furthermore, the ''uniq'' or ''sort'' (or any specific tool) isn't necessary to weed out duplicates. &nbsp; Of course, that is, if duplicate words are to be rejected/ignored, and so far, nobody has rung that bell yet. &nbsp; 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)
