Thesaurus should recognize verbs : received an adjective?????

[Guest]

I don't understand how "received" is widely used as an adjective and not a
verb. In the research pane it only shows received as a adjective and does
not even consider it a verb, in either the thesaurus or the dictionary. that
is very messed up. I hope other words are not botched like this. It is just
relly Annoying. Oddly enough "take" will refrence to "recieve" as one of
its synonyms.

ALSO Add a menu option to go directly to the suggestion start page -
incase anybody else sees a goof up to make it easier on them instead of
having to look around on the website.

It's a basic principle of lexicography to ignore inflected forms of words
unless they take a different part of speech (as in your example). 'Receive'
is there as a verb and 'received' as a gerundive; but the verbal inflections
'recevies', 'receiving', 'received' etc are not -- to include all
inflections for all verbs would quadruple the size of the word list and
reduce the effectiveness of the searching (as would the inclusion of plural
noun forms).
