This fixes three instances of doubled words
in the "europe" and "southamerica" files.
I noticed these in glibc's files, which may well
be out of date. FYI, I ran this command to spot candidates:
git ls-files |xargs perl -0777 -n \
-e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \
-e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \
-e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}'
--------------------------
