| 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
yourself | reflexive (singular)
yourselves | reflexive (plural)

| 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
