<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP2"></a><b>§2. </b>Inform uses these not only for parsing but also to inflect text. For example,
|
|
if every person is given a nose, the player will see it as "my nose" not
|
|
"your nose". Inform handles such inflections by converting a pronoun in
|
|
one grammar into its corresponding pronoun in another (in this case, first
|
|
person to second person).
