James:
We probably wouldn't favor modifying words as part of the transfer =
process. Imagine that you transfer a file in this way and you want to =
spell a word in the file. If it is one of the words you modified, the =
spelling would be incorrect. This may be fine if you remember every word =
you modified, but try searching for such a word. You would have to search =
for the misspelled word, which highlights the undesirability of this =
approach.
