On a recent test I got back "manorial based jobs xlyqfwri rt dsw worldwide the fight" as a compliment. But, if we could catch plurals, the complement would have been "manorial based jobs", which would have worked nicely.

We think this will require interfacing with a different (better?) dictionary. And, in any case, I think it's an issue that we can take care of as a refinement once the bot is launched. So I'm removing this form the BotticelliBot Launch milestone.

Fix was pretty easy. Used a list of irregular noun (plural, singular) pairs, and do a lookup therein. If it's not one of those, then do simple transformations (like dropping an s, es or subbing ies for y).
