Is this for Python 3.x or 2.x?  It makes a big difference in what 
input() means.  I'm guessing 2.x from the rest of the script, so what 
you probably want is raw_input, not input.... unless you really want 
them to type Python source there which is interpreted as a list of 
values or whatever.

I'm not sure what you want to accomplish with str() and list(), though. 
  Those create a string, and then a list, but you never assign the new 
string or list to anything.  Neither actually changes the "wording" 
variable.

Remember that the comma separating items in the print statement is a 
syntactic feature of the language.  You have them inside the strings 
you're printing.
