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 am using this extension method with .NET 4.6

public static string Pluralize(this string @string)
{
     if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(@string)) return string.Empty;

     var service = new EnglishPluralizationService();

     return service.Pluralize(@string);
}
