It caught my eye because i want my "bot" to understand 
written english. Much like the sportscasters on tv here now 
say "seed" for "seat" in tennis rankings because they can't 
pronounce (or hear?) the correct pronunciation, and they don't
 bother with the etymology of the word, nor it's denotations,,,
 and how i see people here unable to use a lookup directory 
of any kind in a library because when they "sound out" a word 
they come up with a spelling impossible to locate,,, well, i 
wonder about these things. So in this case, you *can* spell 
all the keywords of Euphoria properly, and i assume pronounce 
them properly, but do you pronounce "redundant" as "redounded"? You can 
feel free to spell or say it how you like, i am only trying to backtrack how i 
can tell a "bot" that Soundex and Metaphone will not arrive at the correct 
pronunciation with this case. The Eu code i have would not have located 
"redundant", and i'd like for it to. If i widen the brute force search that much
though, i'd get a flood of highly improbable matches.

> Bad spelling aside, I still wonder why the second find is needed. 

No clue why it was coded that way. Like you say, it's not needed.
