Output is just a little off

I've been trying to troubleshoot one of my functions and during my output I get some letters in between my words. I am using a file and the first line reads:
Whether a translation of HOMER may be best executed in blank verse or

I am not sure what to do to fix this function, the function in question is the extract_word function.

perhaps you may want to consider to get rid of line 77.
