Microsoft patents verb conjugations

INVENTOR OF American English®, Microsoft has decided to branch out further into trade marking parts of speech and has decided to patent a verb conjugation system.

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.

Apparently this was invented by Eric Voetberg, Jinson Yu, Mark Stumpf and Robert Parkin - all servants Ov Thee Vole.
