String#singularize

The reverse of +pluralize+, returns the singular form of a word in a string.

If the optional parameter +locale+ is specified,
the word will be singularized as a word of that language.
By default, this parameter is set to <tt>:en</tt>.
You must define your own inflection rules for languages other than English.

  'posts'.singularize            # => "post"
  'octopi'.singularize           # => "octopus"
  'sheep'.singularize            # => "sheep"
  'word'.singularize             # => "word"
  'the blue mailmen'.singularize # => "the blue mailman"
  'CamelOctopi'.singularize      # => "CamelOctopus"
  'leyes'.singularize(:es)       # => "ley"
