[PATCH] Including "aircraft" in inflect.uncountable

Proposed patch.

Rather than change the Inflector rule set, the way to bend the Inflector to do your bidding is to add your own custom rules to the bottom of your config/environment.rb file. See the commented out section for adding custom Inflector rules.

Aircrafts is not a word.

It doesn't seem like declaring it as uncountable is a customization.

Today I read the 37Signals blog post by David about how blanket policies should be questioned.

I realized that "fish" and "sheep" were two of the entries listed as irregular; however, I find that the likelihood of someone making a Fish or Sheep model far less than that of an Aircraft. I don't believe that every single possible irregular word should be listed. I think the issue of maintaining a short and useful list *is* worth periodic attention.

I'm certainly not trying to create conflict or be a troll, it just seems an imbalanced list as it stands.

Would it be appropriate to volunteer to create an updated list to reflect usage in real world applications?

That might make a cool plugin. You might run into the same "what makes it in?" problem with it, though.

Inflections are officially closed at the moment. If you like a reorg, I suggest you discuss it on the core list. For this particular problem, see http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2006/05/17/gentle-reminder-pluralizations
