title: Removing StopWords [Java]
body: <p>I have written a method that will take in a String and split it up, so that it can remove each stop word within the String.  I have found a pre-made Array full of Stop Words which will check the string and if it finds it, it will remove it.  However, it does not work with all Stop Words.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Input : "Feeling miserable with the cold? Here's what you can do."</li>
  <li>Output: "Feeling miserable the cold? Here's can do."</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>As you can see, the program does not remove the words, <code>the</code>, <code>can</code> and <code>do</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am unsure what I am doing wrong and would appreciate any given help.
  Thank you.</p>
