Description

The algorithm of work

• Ensures proper capitalization
• Correct upper case and lower case formatting
• Correctly translates "qu" (e.g., ietquay instead of uietqay)
• Differentiates between "Y" as vowel and "Y" as consonant (e.g. yellow = ellowyay and style = ylestay)
• Correctly translates contractions
• Hyphenated words are treated as two words
• Words may consist of alphabetic characters only (A-Z and a-z)
• All punctuation, numerals, symbols and whitespace are not modified
