Is there a pluralize function in Ruby NOT Rails?

Actually all you need to do is

require 'active_support/inflector'

and that will extend the String type.

you can then do

"MyString".pluralize

which will return

"MyStrings"

for 2.3.5 try:

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_support/inflector'

should get it, if not try

sudo gem install activesupport

and then the requires.
