## What it is
A small JavaScript library that pluralizes or singularizes English words based on a count, using an ordered list of predefined rules. It supports custom plural, singular, irregular, and uncountable rules, and works in Node, AMD, and browser environments.

## Use cases
- pluralize a word based on a count in JavaScript
- singularize English words in Node.js
- display '1 test' vs '5 tests' with correct grammar
- add custom pluralization rules for domain-specific words
- check whether a word looks singular or plural
- handle uncountable nouns like 'paper' in generated text

## When to choose
- you need grammatically correct plural/singular forms for dynamic user-facing text
- you want a tiny, dependency-free utility usable in Node or the browser
- you need to extend inflection rules for irregular or domain-specific vocabulary

## When to avoid
- your word list is known ahead of time and a simple ternary would suffice
- you need full morphological analysis or non-English inflection
- you need a general NLP toolkit rather than a single utility
