Plural001

#===============================================================================
#
# Plural thingy system for RPG Maker Vx Ace
# v 0.01
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Features
#   - Default pluralization of names as they appear on screen
#   - Support for custom names for enemy names
#
# Changing default plural modifier
#   By default, the script will add a simple s to the end of any name to make
#   it plural. If you wish to modify the default behaviour, edit
#   Vocab::MultipleEntities
#
# Adding custom plural definitions
#   In the enemy note window: add the command plural_name followed, by an equal,
#   and the desired name.
#     plural name = <name>
#
#   Example
#     plural name = succubi
#
# Author
#   Gar
