pluralize(0, ‘people’) = 0 peoples
Just thought I’d let you guys know. I’m new here so I don’t know if
this is in the right section, but ya.
That’s because ‘people’ is already plural. From the api:
pluralize(count, singular, plural = nil)
Try this:
pluralize(0, ‘person’)

Well, people can be singular or plural. It can be the plural of person
or it
can describe a single group. The most famous example of this is in
Martin
Luther King’s famous speech:
“…But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to
the
Promised Land.”
Rails gets it right in either case. Clever rails.

P.S. Also try this:
“people”.singularize

Try using pluralize(0, ‘person’). Pluralize expects the singular as
the argument, not the plural.

0 peoples is actually correct plural for people, as in nation or
ethnicity.
