abstract class Pluralizer extends AnyRef

Competently find the plural of most common English words.

In dealing with logged messages, error messages, and other output that people see, it is always nice to have the correct plural form of nouns be used. This class attempts to get pretty good coverage for the english language based on a variety of pluralization rules. This is also used in URL path matching to distinguish between operations that act on an instance (singular) or a collection of instances (plural)
