Dylan,

   The above are true for generic situations. The data I want to clean have
the equivalent of all of the above in separate strings, and the name of the
entity, too. So, if all strings are placed in title case (i.e., the first
letter of each word capitalized), it will be relatively trivial to correct
the meaningful strings (e.g., "Or" to "OR" and "Po" to "PO") afterwards.
