@string = "Sometimes some stupid people say some stupid words"

@string.enclose_in_brackets("some") # => "Sometimes {some} stupid people say {some} stupid words"

How should the method enclose_in_brackets look ? Please keep in mind, I want only enclose whole words, (I don't want "{Some}times {some} stupid....", the "sometimes" word should be left unchanged
