Active Support Inflections

A singleton instance of this class is yielded by Inflector.inflections, which can then be used to specify additional inflection rules. If passed an optional locale, rules for other languages can be specified. The default locale is :en. Only rules for English are provided.

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(:en) do |inflect|
  inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
  inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'

  inflect.irregular 'cactus', 'cacti'

  inflect.uncountable 'equipment'
end

New rules are added at the top. So in the example above, the irregular rule for cactus will now be the first of the pluralization and singularization rules that is runs. This guarantees that your rules run before any of the rules that may already have been loaded.
