Maybe this can help:
I think that a period matches any character, including the record separator, in a regular expression.

Maybe THIS can help better:
The -w option stands for --word-regexp in egrep's man. Still, a period may match a record separator and thus you get ten character words OR eleven character words...
Now THIS may be quite what you wanted in the first place:
The regular expression ends with a character range that means 'any character EXCEPT a record separator'; you may get it as a caret followed by a newline, both enclosed in brackets (open bracket, caret, control-V, newline, close bracket). Just a single tiny side-effect: I get 'self-advancement' somewhere down the list of results...

Hello Gurus :)
I'm "currently" (for the last ~2weeks) writing a script to build ffmpeg with some features from scratch.
This said, there are quite a few features, libs, to be downloaded, compiled and installed, so figured, writing functions for some default tasks might help.

canadian-english - a list of English words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/canadian-english is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
There may be any number of word lists in /usr/share/dict/. /etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to the currently-chosen
/usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which
other software should refer to the system word list. See select-default-wordlist(8) for more information, and/or to change the currently-
chosen word list.
The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded using the ISO
8859-1 character set encoding.
SEE ALSO ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.
The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words. For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
exist.
AUTHOR
Word lists are collected and maintained by various authors. The Debian English word lists are built from the SCOWL (Spell- Checker Ori-
ented Word Lists) package, whose upstream editor is Kevin Atkinson <kevina@users.sourceforge.net>.
