Probably has it coded to add an "s" for plural meaning; here is something I just googled for making plurals:
You already know how to make most nouns into plurals just by adding an -s at the end of the word. There are plenty of words that do not follow the rule, however.
Here is an easy case to remember: If a word ended in -s, -z, -x, -sh, or -ch, add -es to the end.
Examples: dress - dresses; fizz - fizzes; fox - foxes; wish - wishes; watch - watches.
When a noun ends in -o, you also have to add -es.
Examples: hero - heroes; tomato - tomatoes
Exceptions to the rule: studio, piano, kangaroo, zoo, buffalo, cargo, motto, . Just add -s to these words.
If a noun ends in a consonant plus the letter "y", change the "y" to "i" and add -es.
Examples: city - cities; country - countries
When a noun ends in -f or -fe, you change the "f" to "v" and add -es.
Examples: knife - knives; half - halves; scarf - scarves
Here is one that always gave me trouble. I hope this makes it easier for you!
Sometimes a singular noun ends in -um or -on. To make it a plural, change the -um to an -a.
Examples: curriculum - curricula; phenomenon - phenomena
How about nouns that end in -ex or -ix? To make them plural, change that ending to -ices.
Examples: vertex - vertices; index - indices
Nouns that end in -us become plurals by changing the ending to -i.
Example: stimulus - stimuli
Some nouns are always plural, but do not end in "s".
Examples: cattle, police, people.

Not everything ending in -us pluralises to -i or even-ii, it depends on the Latin declension of the noun in question. Also, fish does not take -es (unless you believe in Jeremiah the Bullfrog). Cash is another one, although that's not capable of being singular (unless you're talking about Johnny).
