You say "improve" like there's a problem, is there a problem or some
scenario you have in mind here?

I am not sure because enumerating the delimiters feels strange.

I am trying the following:

public static IEnumerable<String> Words(this String value) {

MatchCollection collection = Regex.Matches(value, @"\b(?:\w|\')+
\b");
Match[] matches = new Match[collection.Count];
collection.CopyTo(matches, 0);
return matches.Select(m => m.Value).AsEnumerable();

} // Words

And then I apply it as follows:

keywords = String.Join(",", model.Title.Words().Where(w => w.Length >
3).Select(w => w.Capitalize()).Take(5).ToArray());

It seems better now ... not?

Wish I knew some RegEx!

Well, as the other poster pointed out (about the missing punctuation) a
RegEx might be the way to go. But I have no idea what that RegEx indicates.

Also, you need to account for what type of encoding the input is, just
ANSI/ASCII? Or Unicode? In the case of the later, perhaps some more
thought required.
