Help:Word RegEx

This is a WIP guide on RegExxing words, e.g. when adding to a list.

Brackets
Brackets are the most commonly used non-letter characters. It is mostly used to add prefixes/suffixes, and sometimes other things. Here are some examples and how to use them.


 * Shoe(s) — Pluralizing; mostly done with (s)
 * Walk(s)/(ed)/(ing) — Tenses, mostly done with (s)/(ed)/(ing)
 * Small(er)/(est) — Comparative and superlative
 * Suspicious(ly)/(ness(es)) — please add a description if you can

Slash
Slashes are used to modify part of a word. Examples are:


 * Liquidize(s)/(ed)/ing — Tenses, if the word ends with "e" and is a verb, there will be no brackets on the "ing".
 * Dghajsa/jes — Non-common plurals.
