According to Wikipedia, the use of superscripts for ordinals in English should be avoided nowadays.

The 16th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style states: "The letters in ordinal numbers should not appear as superscripts (e.g., 122nd not 122nd)", as do the Bluebook[1] and style guides by the Council of Science Editors,[2] Microsoft,[3] and Yahoo!.[4] Two problems are that superscripts are used "most often in citations" and are "tiny and hard to read".[1] Some word processors format ordinal indicators as superscripts by default (e.g. Microsoft Word[5]). Style guide author Jack Lynch (Rutgers) recommends turning off automatic superscripting of ordinals in MS Word, because "no professionally printed books use superscripts."[6]

Who can argue with that?
I'll also turn it off in my MS Word also
I will keep the RegEx and probably use it as a starting point for other things.
However, the most frustrating editing task right now is 'Need #1' to insert a space for text like "JohnSmith" (s/b "John Smith") and "missingLink" (s/b "missing Link"). I have no idea how so many words got joined
