#nominative_plural(thing) ⇒ Object

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nominative_case

This implementation works fine for Germanic languages and it will fail horribly at Slavic languages or Arabic. Support for true declensions could be added later though.

This method exists because:

  • we don’t want to abuse #human(count: 2) because that should return something like “2 Users” and not just “Users”. It’s not meant to say things like: “These are users”

  • we want to avoid feeding the current locale to #pluralize the whole time

nominative_plural(“thing”) => “things” nominative_plural(User) => “users” or if I18n.locale == :nl

nominative_plural(User) => "gebruikers"
nominative_plural("thing") => "dingen"
