A few years ago I broached this subject with Arthur Knapp and we
basically decided that using Tanaka's MTReplace was the best option.
However, since that time, I have/needed to migrate to OS X, but the
osax has not, nor are there any plans to do so.
You could try the Satimage osax: free, quick, and Frenchy ;)
Visit:

Example 1 (1 line without break):
-- tell application "Smile" to change "paras" into "paragraphs" in
selection of window 1 with whole word
--> means you have the word "paras" in a Smile text window as window 1.
Example 2, but without Smile, just its Satimage.osax in your
ScriptingAdditions folder:
set myText to "replace paras abbreviation by its fullname: paras,
paras, etc."
set myStringList to {"paras", "paragraphs"}
change (myStringList's item 1) into (myStringList's item 2) in myText
with whole word
--> "replace paragraphs abbreviation by its fullname: paragraphs,
paragraphs, etc."
