Plurals

[saramosher888]

Can / should we use plurals (armies, fleets, units)? Right now the checker is identifying these as errors because it expects to see the singular form of the word. It's not the most frequent issue, but we should probably make a decision.

Examples:

• "Build two armies, which looks like we're really at war and you're going to eject me."
• "She told me that she plans to line the whole northwest coast with fleets."

Yes, all concepts should be normalized, e.g. move-01 or army (always singular form). From (general) AMR Guidelines: AMR 1.2 does not represent event times (outside of the explicit :time relation), articles, plurals, or quotation marks But explicit quantities are annotated, e.g. (army :quant 2) for two armies.

OK, that makes sense.
