Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Noticed cat shift from "conjugation" - "verb inflection" -- why?

Heya CodeCat --

Noticed you seem to be working to shift all "conjugation" templates over to "verb inflection". I have no objection at all, I'm just curious why. I'm also curious about the term choice -- inflection is certainly the broadest (and thus safest) term for describing the process of changes in a word, but conjugation is also specific to verbs, so "conjugation" == "verb inflection", in all cases that I can currently think of.
