Yet another attempt at the horrible act of string surgery. Please *never* do
this. Grammar, word order and even text direction vary between languages. See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#split-sentences

String surgery assumes the programmer has total knowledge of all languages of
the world, and has the same chances of success as that scenario.
