Word team should review conjugations of defective verbs in Spanish

[Guest]

Spanish verbs such as "Llover" (To rain), "Nevar", etc. do not use all the
conjugations because they represent actions that cannot be done by all the
persons. In fact, there are no person who can execute any of this actions,
except in poetry.

Pronouns Yo (I), Tú (You), Él (He), Ella (She), etc. don't suit this verbs,
but you include in your Spanish dictionary some incorrect conjugations that
don't recognise this fact; example: "Llueves", "Nievas".

I suggest you to delete this forms because I'm sure you would say "It rains"
but you wouldn't say "He rains"... Thanks.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?UGjDonJvcw==?=,

I recommend you post this in either a group specific for Spanish Word, or in the
word.spelling.grammar newsgroup. Otherwise, no one is likely to see and react to
the suggestion.
