Project Outline: N.O.’ing

I want to make a conjugation practice program thing for Japanese. Japanese programming is pretty systemic so it should lend its self to being programmed by me fairly easily. I’m naming it “Not only ‘ing” and abreviating it as: N.O.’ing

This is a fancy name because there is more to conjugation than just attacking “ing” to a verb and N.O.’ing can be read as Knowing...Shouldn’t have to explain this.
