These are originally from http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/12343.html and work surprisingly well (considering the messiness of the English language!).

They were licenced under the LGPL, so I hereby relicensing this copy under the ordinary GPL according to section 3 of the LGPL ;)

BTW - these are based on the RoR inflector...

Also, code is cleaned up according to Drupal coding standards.

Thanks, Owen. Before I commit it, we do require an update for the documentation as well.

The following:

<?php
  foreach ($irregular as $plural => $singular) {
    if (preg_match('/('.$plural.')$/i',  $word, $arr)) {
      return preg_replace('/('.$plural.')$/i', substr($arr[0], 0, 1).substr($singular, 1), $word);
    }
  }
?>

overwrites the $plural variable used earlier in the pluralize_en function.

Also, the foreach should be foreach ($irregular as $singular => $plural), based on the format of $irregular.

Same goes for the singularize_en function. Here is a patch to fix that.
