Howdy!
My reply just bounced from Dartmouth, so I looked in my previous
recipients list and found this address:
[log in to unmask]
so we'll see if it works.

and my attempt at help, fwiw:
Congratulations. And condolences. :-)
… but I guess you don't want to replace the word our with or? because
that would be wrong even in our version of English! :-)
Maybe use PowerFind, and replace {LookBehind(anyLetter)}our{end of
word} with 'or'
where the special buttons are submenus in the Match, Wild Card, and
Special Positions of the gear pop-up beside the input field.
But be careful what you ask— cuz then what about favours, favoring, &
favourite?
Would a non-British spell checker be of use? Probably not fully
automated, but who trusts bots that much anyhow. :-(
Maybe you better look for 'our' and manually decide?
Or get better advice. :-\
Sorry to drag you through my thinking through it, but maybe that too
is useful.
Ben Andrus in Montana.
