Note
The -s form carries every use of the verb, and one of them changes its grammar. When someone evaluates a proposal or a painting, the verb takes an object. When an expression evaluates, it takes none and simply has a value, and in mathematics and programming that result follows with to. The transitive computing use survives too: the interpreter evaluates the expression.
