hmm i figure someone has had to have written one... this surprisingly useful
key (at least for me) positions the cursor immediately at the end of the
previous word

So for example if you had...

      'fooz bar'

...with the cursor anywhere within 'bar', pressing ge in vi immediatley
positions the cursor at the 'z' !!!1

You could create one! Comprised of backward-word, backward-word,  
forward-word, delete-backward-char ... And bind it to some key.

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.

hey cool thanks, i took ians function and modified it a little ... this
seems to work okay i think...

;; 32 = ASCII <space>
(defun prev-word-end-three (&optional arg)
 (interactive "p")
 (let ((arg (or arg 1)))
   (cond
    ((= (preceding-char) 32)  (progn (backward-word (+ arg))
(forward-word))) ;; bw fw
    (t  (progn (backward-word (+ 1 arg))
(forward-word)))                     ;; bw bw fw
    )
 );; let
);;defun

 (global-set-key "\C-x\M-b" 'prev-word-end-three)
 (global-set-key "\M-B" 'prev-word-end-three)
