Oh wise monks, some advice please... We've a database of questions; currently they address the user in the 2nd person. ("Do you ...", "If you have...", "Are you...", etc.) A new requirement is that the questions be properly tweaked if the user is calling about their child. ("Does the child...", "If the child has...", "Is the child...", etc.). Handling the object of the sentence via a variable is the easy part, but adjusting the verb is proving more difficult. Damian Conway's written a wonderful module called Lingua::EN::Inflect; it does singular/plural changes, but doesn't seem to offer the switch from 2nd person to 3rd. Do you know of any modules/snippets which can do that?
