ActionScript 3 Inflector class for pluralizing and singularizing words
The as3 Inflector class can be used to pluralize or singularize most words. It is essentially a direct port of the Rails inflector class.
Here is a little demo Flex app that I put together to demo the classes functionality.
You can right click on the app to view the source and grab the class, or you can just click here.

Have you looked at the Perl version? Seems a bit more comprehensive.

Very nice! Still needs a bit of tweaking, though. For example, when I typed “German” in the singular text input and clicked “Pluralize”, it printed out “Germen”.

It has the same funny bug as Rails had – http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10919.
Waiting for an enhancement ;D

That must be the funniest bug report that I’ve ever read.

I had a similar to the one above error. I turned out I had accidently used instead of . Looks very scary but turned out to be very simple for me.
