[Solved] The Kentucky Friar

Write a program that will drop the final “g” of two-syllable words ending in “-ing” and also replace any occurrence of the word “you” (case-insensitive) with the word “y’all” so as to transform text into a dialect common to the US Deep South (from which your author hails). The given text may come from the command line:

$ ./friar.py 'Do you want to do some cooking with me?'Do y'all want to do some cookin' with me?

Or from an input file:

$ ./friar.py ../inputs/nobody.txtI'm Nobody! Who are y'all?Are y'all -- Nobody -- too?Then there’s a pair of us!Don't tell! they'd advertise -- y'all know!How dreary -- to be -- Somebody!How public -- like a Frog --To tell one's name -- the livelong June --To an admirin' Bog!

Note that one-syllable words ending with “-ing” should be unchanged:

$ ./friar.py swingswing

If provided no arguments, the program should print a brief usage:

$ ./friar.pyusage: friar.py [-h] strfriar.py: error: the following arguments are required: str

Or a longer usage for -h and --help:

$ ./friar.py -husage: friar.py [-h] strSouthern fry textpositional arguments:  str         Input text or fileoptional arguments:  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Run the test suite to ensure your program works correctly:
