Actually, if the word has to match exactly, then startsWith isn't going to cut
it. What you need to do is outright strip the punctuation from both ends.
You'd need something more like
word = find!(not!(std.uni.isPunctuation))(word);
word = array(until!(std.uni.isPunctuation)(word));
if(canFind(wordList, word))
{
//...
}
