🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

filter-stop-words

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so filter-stop-words is a lil Unix-style filter, and its whole personality is: it only lets through the lines of its input that are NOT made up of words an Entrez search would straight-up ignore. like, if Entrez is gonna ghost that word anyway? it does not get a pass. bye 💀

the vibe check on its input: it's expecting one lowercase alphanumeric term per line, which is exactly the shape of thing that word-at-a-time(1) hands you. so if you fed it something else, that's on you bestie, it said what it said 🙈
