How to turn plural words singular?

Question

I\'m preparing some table names for an ORM, and I want to turn plural table names into single entity names. My only problem is finding an algorithm that does it reliably. He

Answer 1

Andrew Peters has a class called Inflector.NET which provides plural-to-singular and singular-to-plural methods. As Tal has pointed out no algorithm is infallible but this covers a decent number of irregular English nouns.
