Quite right. For example:

(String streamContents: [:stream |
  'A series of words to be shuffled' substrings shuffled
    do: [:e | stream nextPutAll: e; nextPut: Character space]]) allButLast

or:

String streamContents: [:stream |
  'A series of words to be shuffled' substrings shuffled
    inject: ''
    into: [:sep :e | stream nextPutAll: sep; nextPutAll: e.
          ' ']]
