The problem is that you're seeing whether the non-proper-cased word is
in the ArrayList, then proper-casing it and adding it. So, for
instance, you never add "a" to the ArrayList, only "A" - so every time
"a" comes up, it will check whether that's in the list, never find it,
and add it.
If you change the middle bit of your code to:
string proper = ToProperCase(mySplit[x]);
if (!myList.Contains(proper))
{
myList.Add(proper);
}
then you'll only get each word once.
(Of course, you then need to change to a different way of determining
how many occurrences there are.)
