• Implementation Logic:
  • Remove (es) and (ies)
  • Locate (s) and find the partial term before (s).
  • Go through the reversed trie (rules of pattern)
    • If exceptional pattern match, keep input term the same
    • If exceptional pattern doesn't match:
      • Replace (s) with a space (" ") if followed by a letter
      • Remove (s), otherwise

  Please refer to Remove plural patterns of (s), (es), and (ies) software components for details.
