The object ownership rules in Cocoa state that if you didn't alloc,
copy or retain the object, you aren't responsible for releasing it. If
you follow those same rules for your own code, you won't have to have
special case rules.

in isWordInQuestion:location:

*location = [[s copy] autorelease];

and now findThisWord: is no longer responsible for releasing the object
(since it didn't directly create it.)
