An R package to "Pluralize and Singularize Any Word"

pluralize's Issues

CRAN release?

Great package. Any plans to release that on CRAN?

.onAttach prevents use of pluralize in packages

Small issue I had when trying to import pluralize for use in a package. When adding pluralize::pluralize to a function in my package (whether or not @importing pluralize), I would get the following error:

> pl("tree")

Error in .pkgenv$ct$call("pluralize", y, n, prepend) : 
 attempt to apply non-function 

This is because the ct object in .pkenv is only created when pluralize is loaded using library().

I believe I have fixed this using .onLoad() and will open a PR shortly.

Does not work with dataframes/vectors?

This works:

data <- c("tests", "nations")
singularize(data)

However, this does not:

data <- data.frame(c("tests", "nations"))
singularize(data)

Error:

Error in context_eval(join(src), private$context) :
TypeError: word.toLowerCase is not a function

I was trying to apply this to a large dataframe after using TidyText's unnest_tokens

It converse "has" to "ha", "was" to "wa".

It's a good pkg to change between plurals and singular, but I found it will converse "has" to "ha" and "was" to "wa" when I use the sigularize() function. These are not the results I want. Can you fix this? Thanks for the fantastic job.
