"offensives".singularize

#6533

"offensive".pluralize returns "offensives" but "offensives".singularize returns "offensife"

I think it should return "offensive"

("offensife".pluralize does return "offensives", but I don't think "offensife" is a real word?)

    Edit your inflections.rb initializer to add any custom inflections required by your application, e.g:

    # config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.irregular 'offensive', 'offensives'
end

    Just out of interest what kind of app requires an Offensive model? Military history?

    @Andrew: Yes, I implemented a workaround using the inflections.rb file, but I thought I'd file a bug too. I'm writing an app to document/simulate the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire :-)

    It's a long time policy not to accept any changes to the inflections list for backwards compatibility/performance reason - if all the exceptions reported as bugs were added to the default list it'd be at least twice as long.
