Actually, that snippet would result in a list composed of two, one-word
strings:
{"two", "three"}
And a string with one word:
"one"
Here's a working example with the results of each command noted out to
illustrate the flow:
set theSubject to "one, two. three?"
-->"one, two. three?"
set theWord to first word of theSubject
-->"one"
set allButFirst to words 2 thru -1 of theSubject
-->{"two", "three"}
set text item delimiters to space
-->{" "}
set newString to allButFirst as text
-->"two three"
