CCExtractor has a small (maybe 20 words) dictionary that is used to correct capitalization.

Because the dictionary is so small the implementation that uses is to do the correction is extremely trivial, and also time consuming (basically it checks against each word in the dictionary rather than do a binary search).

We didn't care about this until someone sent a 11,000 word dictionary for us to use :-)

The function is in 608_helpers.
void correct_case (int line_num, struct eia608_screen *data)

Job: Implement sort and binary search so we can use that dictionary efficiently.
