In the line shown above, you read the contents of a file into a  
String, then try to call the ukquotes() method on that String.

You didn't define that method for Strings though.  Instead, you  
defined it to have the String passed in as an argument.

Thus, you probably want to rewrite that line as something like:

   newfile = ukspell(ukquotes(File.read(filename)))

I hope that helps.
