+inflect.py provides plural inflections, singular noun inflections,
+"a"/"an" selection for English words, and manipulation of numbers as
+words.
+
+Plural forms of all nouns, most verbs, and some adjectives are provided.
+Where appropriate, "classical" variants (for example: "brother" ->
+"brethren", "dogma" -> "dogmata", etc.) are also provided.
+
+Single forms of nouns are also provided. The gender of singular pronouns
+can be chosen (for example "they" -> "it" or "she" or "he" or "they").
+
+Pronunciation-based "a"/"an" selection is provided for all English
+words, and most initialisms.
+
+It is also possible to inflect numerals (1,2,3) to ordinals (1st, 2nd,
+3rd) and to English words ("one", "two", "three").
+
+In generating these inflections, inflect.py follows the Oxford English
+Dictionary and the guidelines in Fowler's Modern English Usage,
+preferring the former where the two disagree.
