Hi people,

I use vim to write and edit text files written in common ASCII-Languages mixed with some words written in old greek letters (α, Σ, η, ...). I want to find a way to search for every word written in old greek letters, so I can use / nN to cycle through them. Any ideas how to do this in the most elegant way?

I tried the regex pattern [α-ω]+ but I kinda already expected that this won't work...

They can’t shut down the dang refinery! The lever’s stuck and they’re out of WD-40!

I actually had the least problem with that. It's entirely plausible that huge machines can't just turned off in an instant. Even real life nuclear reactors need something like +12 hours even for an emergency shutdown. A city-sized space-refinery probably has so much momentum in it's spinning parts that it is faster to just shoot that thing.

The “ancient alien” line may not age well. They are usually very careful not to put references to our time due to it not dating well

What do you mean? which line, what reference?
