  I'd just use whatever the player provides.

  If the player cares, he can rename it with the proper plural.  Most likely, 
they can probably give the proper plural name in the initial rename.

  Trying to do anything else is more complicated, and very error prone (marks 
favorite rubys for example).  There used to be several special case things in 
the client just to deal with making plurals (if its an 'of' item, you want to 
pluralize the word before the of.  you have to worry about y->ies plural, etc). 
  I just don't think this details are really worth the effort.

  In most cases, plurals won't be dealing with objects that cycle between plural 
and non plural a lot.  And it strikes me that if I name an item, I want that 
name to be used - I don't want the server mucking with it, potentially causing 
bound commands I have to no longer match.
