+ | An English stop word list. Comments begin with vertical bar. Each stop
+ | word is at the start of a line.
+
+ | Many of the forms below are quite rare (e.g. "yourselves") but included for
+ | completeness.
+
+ | PRONOUNS FORMS
+ | 1st person sing
+
+i | subject, always in upper case of course
+
+me | object
+my | possessive adjective
+ | the possessive pronoun `mine' is best suppressed, because of the
+ | sense of coal-mine etc.
+myself | reflexive
+ | 1st person plural
+we | subject
+
+| us | object
+ | care is required here because US = United States. It is usually
+ | safe to remove it if it is in lower case.
+our | possessive adjective
+ours | possessive pronoun
+ourselves | reflexive
+ | second person (archaic `thou' forms not included)
+you | subject and object
+your | possessive adjective
+yours | possessive pronoun

+
+ | The forms below are, I believe, best omitted, because of the significant
+ | homonym forms:
+
+ | He made a WILL
+ | old tin CAN
+ | merry month of MAY
+ | a smell of MUST
+ | fight the good fight with all thy MIGHT
+
+ | would, could, should, ought might however be included
