A Word Please. From time to time, while thumbing through one of my usage guides, my eye will stop on the phrase "so inflected." This phrase always comes after a list of forms of the same verb, such as "drink, drank, drunk." And it always reminds me of the famous Yul Brynner line, "So let it be written, so let it be done."
