Trying to exclude a list of words

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Virginia,
    Your exclude.txt file needs to have a VERY simple format.  Just one word on each line.
Probably, you have something more complicated. 

Basically the error message you received is telling you that some of your words have
spaces.  For example, this exclude file will give an error

dog
cat
pig cow
