+ | 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
+

+ | 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.

+ourselves | reflexive
+ | second person (archaic `thou' forms not included)
+you | subject and object

+ | homonym forms:

+ | merry month of MAY
+ | a smell of MUST
+ | fight the good fight with all thy MIGHT
