I sent the following message to a friend of mine; I had formatted it as
Rich Text in order to keep the fonts, sizes, and styles in my original
Applescript.

I realize that you don't use a Mac any more, and don't know much (if
anything) about Applescript, but I think you can follow this code, and
might get a small chuckle out of it.
Can you think of any other diphthongs that begin words for me to add to
the list?

set originalText to "Now is the time for all good queers to come to
the aid of their parties."
set tempResult to {}
set vowels to {"a", "e", "i", "o", "u"}
set diphthongs to {"sh", "th", "ph", "ps", "qu", "fl"}
set translationList to the words of the originalText
repeat with thisWord in translationList
if the first character of thisWord is in the vowels then
set tempResult to tempResult & (thisWord & "yay" as text) as list
else
if text 1 through 2 of thisWord is in the diphthongs then
set n to 2
else
set n to 1
end if
set thisWord to (text (n + 1) thru end of thisWord) & (text 1 thru n
of thisWord) & "ay" as text
set tempResult to tempResult & thisWord as list
end if
end repeat
set {TID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, space}
set the resultingText to tempResult as text
set text item delimiters to TID
display dialog resultingText

"I'll do the best I can do because that's the best I can do!"
The resulting file is 32K bytes. To see why, here's the second line of
the code (set tempResult to {}) with the Rich Text tags:
