Description (last modified by Byeong Gyu Choi)

For verbose_name_plural option in django Model Meta, django currently appends "s" when verbose_name is defined and verbose_name_plural is not.
However, I think that supporting auto-suffixing for irregular plurals, such as categories, would be good idea.

Since there exists countless irregular English plurals, rather than including whole dictionary of all English plurals, I thought at first, adding support for common rules of forming plurals would be decent idea. For instance:

  • adding 'es' support,
  • adding support for nouns ending with 'y'
  • etc.

I'm not sure about the link above is appropriate reference, but I couldn't find much better one.

How would that work? By including a dictionary of irregular plurals?
