Are you asserting that there is nothing but letters and whitespace in 
the string, and that any amount of consecutive whitespace may be 
considered a blank?

Those aren't words, they're phrases.  But more importantly, you're 
somehow doubling the word "in" before parsing.

split it into a list, use slices to divide that into even and odd 
numbered words.  Use zip to combine those two list together, and then 
combine the resultant tuples with a space between.
