A Funny Little Detail Programmers Overlook

Plural for, add “s” or “es”. This is basic right? well except for special nouns like “mouse” or “news”, that rule applies generally so it’s funny how often I stumble upon such phrases as “1 views”, “1 messages”, “1 notifications” hahaha! Well I believe this is just some small detail that programmers overlook. Instead of adding a conditional statement like

if x>1 then add “s” or “es” -> more or less

It’s a small detail really so pardon me for having an eye for details. It wouldn’t hurt to correct that I guess. =)
