Microsoft Patents Verb Conjugations.

zekrahminator · Sep 8, 2006

Or a system of conjugating verbs, more accurately.

The technique, which is a favourite in English language text books, allows the user to input the infinitive form or non-infinitive forms of a verb. When a user inputs a non-infinitive form of a verb, the verb conjugating system identifies a corresponding base form of the verb.

The original system was invented by Eric Voetberg, Jinson Yu, Mark Stumpf and Robert Parkin.

Anyone cares to explain this ?

W1zzard · Sep 8, 2006

ok conjugating is:

go:
i go
you go
he/she/it goes
we go
you go
they go

now the $1B question is whats so special about doing this?

Jimmy 2004 · Sep 8, 2006

I thought it did that anyway? Oh well, my grammar is normally good enough for that and I tend to use M$ word anyway. Sure open source will find another way to do it.

...Next time I see stupid news like this, I think I'll take it to general nonsense :laugh:

Lol, ok. I get it. It's part of Office's grammar check system. You might want to clear that up, it sounds like Microsoft is trying to patent the english language.
