    Omit omitted omitting omits – omission –

    The * did my t go?

    I feel like we will change a lot for digital reasons, especially in coming centuries.

    lemmatization - in linguistics is the process of grouping together inflected forms of a word so they can be analyzed as a single item, identified by the word’s lemma, or dictionary form; (eg. walk [lemma], walks, walked, walking)

    Things like inflected forms and parts of speech that can not be coded easily really have no use in the future. Things like how a sentence can be “I am here.” but when I must change more than one word to say “He is here.” The am/is change is nonsense of no use. It is like a deep inner conflict with no solution; a prejudice or bias.

      I wonder if -tion becoming prounounced like ‘shun’ has anything to do with how it ended up that way.

      Conjugation, inflection, and declension can give more flexibility to word order or otherwise remove words. Whether or not that’s /useful/ is more subjective.
