    <target|I> am...

    Works great for not talking about yourself in the third person, but the grammar comes out wrong if it comes out "Target am..." which should be "Target is..."

    I would like a way to specify different conjugations of a verb for first or third person.

    <target is|I am>

    <target is|I am> is going to be hard to parse universally

    Maybe something more like this: <target|I> <verb:is|am>

    where the <verb:left|right> substition uses the left text for third person, and the right text for first person

    all grammar issues are taking a low priority right now - it's on the end-user to avoid the issue whenever possible

    this would now have to parse with the gender and possessive forms as well

    <target is*He is*She is|I am>

    it's the " is" part that we need here

    it should be possible to parse on the space between the unit and verb in the following syntax form

    <unit verb*male phrase*female phrase|self phrase>

    where the verb is only used if the unit name is used, else the verb is assumed to be part of one of the pronoun phrases (which already support spaces in the current v3.2.2.14)

    priority bumped back to normal because it appears to have a viable solution that should be easy in the current framework
