Adding exclude code question

[Emily Harrington]

Hi Leonid,

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to exclude utterances only if they 
are exclusively made up of the words in the list? 

For instance, "that's" and "it" are on the list. I don't want to exclude 
every utterance that contains these words (e.g., "That's a cow" and "Put 
the cup on it" should be included). I only want to exclude utterances that 
are exclusively made up of these words (e.g., "That's it."). 

Thanks,

Emily
