'Address' does not singularize properly
Reported by Christopher Thompson | November 24th, 2010 @ 05:25 PM
Using Rails 2.3.5 or Rails 3.0.3, testing in irb:
'Address'.singularize
=> "Addres"
However, the following works:
'Address'.pluralize.singularize
=> "Address"
Note that this also means that 'Address'.classify fails, while 'Address'.pluralize.classify will work properly.

See ticket 2399 - it looks like this is a well known issue for words ending in double s. A comment on the ticket explains how to address the problem.

From ticket 2399:
"Rails has a longstanding policy of not taking further inflector patches."
May I ask what is the reason behind this?

Closing ticket as wontfix. Please fix inflections in your app's config/initializers/inflections.rb file

@Andrés
The reason behind this is that Rails core does not aim to become a definitive source of english inflections and source of grammatical debates. Rails provides users to manage their own inflections as they see fit in their app's initializers/inflections.rb file.
