I am using the following expression to change "Meter" or "Meter" to "Me".
And to change "Metri" and "metri" to "Me".
(s-replace-regexp "\\<\\([Mm]eter\\|[Mm]etri\\)" "Me" "Metermetri")
But executing the expression gives only "Memetri" rather than "Meme".
The string regexp in therefore wrong, as it does not achieve replacements on all
matches.
What kind of regexp is required to perform a complete match and replace?
