Welcome to the Rails community.

function pluralize($count, $singular, $plural = false)
{
return ($count == 1 ? $singular : ($plural ? $plural : $singular . ‘s’)) ;
}

function pluralize($string)
{
$irregulars = array(‘man’ => ‘men’, ‘woman’ => ‘women’, ‘fungus’ => ‘fungi’, ‘thief’ => ‘thieves’, ‘species’ => ‘species’,
‘medium’ => ‘media’,'person’ => ‘people’, ‘echo’ => ‘echoes’, ‘hero’ => ‘heroes’, ‘potato’ => ‘potatoes’,
‘veto’ => ‘vetoes’, ‘auto’ => ‘autos’, ‘memo’ => ‘memos’, ‘pimento’ => ‘pimentos’, ‘pro’ => ‘pros’);

$es = array(‘s’, ‘z’, ‘ch’, ‘sh’, ‘x’);

$last_letter = $string{strlen($string) – 1};

if(array_key_exists($string, $irregulars))
{
return $irregulars[$string];
}
else if($last_letter == ‘y’)
{
if($string{strlen($string) – 2} == ‘e’)
return substr($string, 0, strlen($string) – 2) . ‘ies’;
else
return substr($string, 0, strlen($string) – 1) . ‘ies’;
}
else if(in_array(substr($string,0,-2),$es) || in_array($last_letter, $es))
{
return $string . ‘es’;
}
else
{
return $string . ‘s’;
}
}

For example, simply removing the S’s isn’t a good option since a word like grass would become gras. Adding an S is not ideal as fish becomes fishs… I guess if there is no vowel on the end, “es” could be added. Is there a function out there that anyone knows of that handles the various possibilities? If so, I would be very grateful if someone could email the link to me.

Many thanks.

This is one of those technical nitpick things. Check out the screenshot below of the new Yahoo Answers and see if you can spot the error.

The title of this thread kind of gives it away. Note the “1 Answers” should actually read “…
