Clever way to append 's' for plural form in .Net (syntactic sugar)

Question

I want to be able to type something like:

Console.WriteLine(\"You have {0:life/lives} left.\", player.Lives);

instead of

Consol         


        

Answer 1

I'm thinking the easiest way to do it is to create an Interface IPlural which has an method .ToString(int quantity) which returns the singular form when quantity == 1 an the plural form all other times.
