Yeah, I figured most people would get the gist of it, even if they don't know how to program. :)

What I find interesting is that when people write these interjections, generally they repeat only one of the letters in the word. I mean, you can find things like "bbbbrrrrrrrr" or "rrreeeaaalllllyyyyy" or whatever on the internet, but based on the data I've been looking at, those spellings are rare enough that I don't need to worry about them.

(The context is that I'm revising my company's stopword lists.)
