### What word starts with f and ends uck?
grep -iE '^f.*uck$' /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane
fernambuck
firetruck
fistfuck
fuck
funduck

### The ^ is the anchor for the beginning of the word, the $ anchors
### the end, the -E is for Extended regex, -i is any case, and the .*
### is any number of any character.
### What 8 letter words start with 'm'?

grep -E '^m.{7}$' /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane | wc --lines
3568

### But, this isn't quite correct, because it includes things like
### mystic's and words like mañana's (518 words with other symbols,
### the fix is;
grep -E '^m[a-z]{7}$' /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane | wc --lines
3050

### In this case the search is for a lower case m followed by 7 of
### any of the characters in the list from a to z, inclusive.

### And how many words that start with upper or lower 'm'?
grep -E '^[mM][a-z]{7}$' /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane | wc --lines
