Ruslan, I think that Jon is proposing to have a replacement function 
instead of delete (delete is a special case of replacing with empty 
string after all).

Since we are talking about working on words not string/substrings, 
may be the function names should be

ReplaceAllWords
DeleteAllWords

Who know, may be later we get also generic replacement that works on 
arbitrary strings not full words.
