I would really like to use \w but it also matches underscores so I’m going with [A-Za-z] which feels unnecessarily verbose and America centric. Is there a better way to do this? Something like [\w^_] (I doubt I got that syntax right)?

You could use
/[a-z]/ior/[[:alpha:]]/just as well. In fact,\wincludes numbers so that won’t even work.
