// regular expression to find quoted text
var regex = new Regex("\"[^\"]\"", RegexOptions.Compiled);
return
// remove quoted text (it will be processed later)
regex.Replace(text, "")
// remove case dependency
.ToLower()
// split text by all these chars
.Split(".,'\\/[]{}()`~@#$%^&*-=+?!;:<>| \n\r".ToCharArray())
// add quoted text
.Concat(regex.Matches(text).Cast<Match>().Select(match => match.Value))
// group words by the word and count them

// apply filter(min word count and word length) and remove common words
.Where(pair => pair.Value >= X && pair.Key.Length >= Y && !exclude.ContainsKey(pair.Key));
