Word 1 to -1 Truncating Entire Paragraphs?

[Sivakatirswami]

There are  commas in the text that is chopped off, so it's not a  
delimiter issue. I don't have time to debug it and on the WHEW  
(WHatEverWorks) principle I'll just use this function which *does*  
work on the same text chunk. I don't think the extra CPU time is an  
issue. (except to nano bots)

Thanks Ken!
