anbu23 looks like it is working. the problem is that it is also deleting sub strings and not just the word. in addition, is there any option to delete spaces that come after the deleted word?
say I have a sentence: The password and the key are safe in the vault - please verify.
and after the script I should get : The and are safe in the vault - please.

Thank you RudiC, and you are right - that makes no sense. what i meant is that i don't want to manually separate the words with whatever separator is needed - but guess I can just write a script for that.

GAELIC(5) Linux Programmers Manual GAELIC(5)NAME
gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/gaelic is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
/etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to a /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.
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.
