      • getPluralForm

        public static String getPluralForm​(String word)
        Experimental API: converts an English word into a plural form.
        Parameters:
        word - a word, such as "child", "apple". Must not be null. It accepts word concatanation forms that are common in programming languages, such as "my_child", "MyChild", "myChild", "MY-CHILD", "CODE003-child", etc, and mostly tries to do the right thing. ("my_children","MyChildren","myChildren", and "MY-CHILDREN", "CODE003-children" respectively)

        Although this method only works for English words, it handles non-English words gracefully (by just returning it as-is.) For example, "日本語" will be returned as-is without modified, not "日本語s"

        This method doesn't handle suffixes very well. For example, passing "person56" will return "person56s", not "people56".

        Returns:
        always non-null.
