in reply to Challenge: Predictive Texting

I notice that some of the words in the 2of12inf.txt file have trailing % characters. What are they for?

    GrandFather,
    From the readme - Plurals of "uncountable" nouns were included, annotated with the "%" suffix character. See below for an extended discussion of the inclusion of these words.

    Keep in mind that 2of12.txt ne 2of12inf.txt though I am thinking for add-ons to the challenge, UK english as well as inflections will add to the complexity though the techniques should remain relatively the same.

    Cheers - L~R
