From the keyboard of wolff@inf.fu-berlin.de (Thomas Wolff):
:Most repliers to my posting seem to be that well accustomed to the fact 
:that vi is a line editor that they didn't see my point when I wrote 
:"arbitrary (!) block of text" (well, maybe "block" was misleading). This 
:is not a block of lines (which is the unit of most vi operations) and 
:since I referred to "elementary text editing tasks" I didn't mean columns 
:either. Suppose I have the lines
:	word1 word2 word1
:	word3 word4 word3
:and I need the text from "word2 " up to "word4" (assume it's a sentence) 
:to be copied or moved elsewhere.If an editor cannot do this with a 
:simple command sequence (and without the search trick burdening me with 
:the task of counting the occurences of the word following my sentence 
:within my sentence, if it can be done that way at all), I just do not 
:call it a text editor.

Use one of

    y2W			" two words
    y)			" end of sentence
    y$			" end of line

It isn't very hard.
