窮する is vs-s. Old mistake.

So you made the switch? Let's hope everything goes for the 
best.

Regarding the POS debate, I thought that the tag was 
exclusive to cases where the する verb is not part of the 
word and must be added after it. e.g. 理解ー>理解する。
Having the vs tag cover both those cases and the cases where 
suru is part of the expression e.g. 気にする could be 
potentially confusing, especially to software. I'm afraid it 
could confuse third-party (e.g. rikaichan) conjugators. I 
also noticed that some entries already use the vs-i tag. 
Wouldn't using the vs-i tags keep things separate and more 
logically consistent?
