Adjectives are the entry-grammar to gerunds. And nobody wants to go there.

Bare infinitives are clearly the way forward.

Well, simplicity is nice, but I would want to go with the passive infinitive or jump right to irregular conjugations.

The tongue-twister of loser atonement is complete, PL'd by our contest winner, and cataloged. Audio file can be found on our catalog page at https://librivox.org/peter-pipers-practical-principles-of-plain-and-perfect-pronunciation-by-anonymous/
