task clarification
I assume we are to code programs to handle the general case, not just the file to be used as a test case.
What is a "word"?
What letters can be included in a word?
What other characters can be included in a word?
Are words that are hyphenated one word or two?
What about words like: jack-o'-lantern
What about split words across lines (if there are possi-
ble if any)?
Are words that contain an apostrophe to be included (such as let's)?
What about words that contain non-Latin (Roman) letters?
As it happens, those non-Latin letters don't show up in the top ten.
What exactly is the text (start and stop) that is contained in the web-page to be used?
Should we also use the prologue and epilogue of the Project Gutenberg along with the book's text?
Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to have a simple (and complete) text file to download [with no (de-)assembly or editing required]?
