What is it?

This is a C# port of Blake Embrey'spluralize library which helps in pluralizing or singularizing any English word.

Changes reflect commits up tohttps://github.com/blakeembrey/pluralize/commit/0265e4d131ecad8e11c420fa4be98b75dc92c33d from May 25, 2019.

Why

I could not find a good C# alternative for converting words from singular to plural and vice versa.System.Data.Entity.Design.PluralizationServices.PluralizationService andHumanizer library did not meet the expectations (try 'shoes' or 'toes'). However this small but awesome Javascript libraypluralize worked very well for me and I decided to convert the code to C# and use it.

Install from NuGet

Using Package manager console

Install-Package Pluralize.NET
