  # The Inflector transforms words from singular to plural, class names to table names, modularized class names to ones without,
  # and class names to foreign keys. The default inflections for pluralization, singularization, and uncountable words are kept
  # in inflections.rb.
  #
  # The Rails core team has stated patches for the inflections library will not be accepted
  # in order to avoid breaking legacy applications which may be relying on errant inflections.
  # If you discover an incorrect inflection and require it for your application, you'll need
  # to correct it yourself (explained below).

    #     inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'

    #     inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
    #
    #     inflect.uncountable "equipment"

    # New rules are added at the top. So in the example above, the irregular rule for octopus will now be the first of the
    # pluralization and singularization rules that is runs. This guarantees that your rules run before any of the rules that may
    # already have been loaded.
