Ths is a simplified account of "last year of bachelor"-stuff: Human language cannot (mathematically proven) be modelled by a mere regexp, as human language is not only context-free, (needing a full parser) but context-sensitive (needing parsers we don't really have yet). Nice, yes? It cannot go in humanize but it could go in localflavor for English. It would be necessary with a stemmer and a replaceable wordlist though, as what words get "an" and what get "a" not only depends on country but also on specific publishing styles - and all of this has a tendency to change over time.
