Description
I have changed pluralization to work correctly with words like "entry", "basis", "cactus", "poromenos", etc. The standard "+ 's'" didn't apply here and I thought it would be better if Django handled these by default instead of requiring the user to supply their pluralized name.

The pluralize filter is meant as an 80% solution -- either add an "s" or not. We shouldn't go down the slippery slope of attempting to account for every special case in the English language. Feel free to use your improved pluralize filter in your own projects and distribute it on the Django wiki.

Sorry, I'm now noticing this patch is for the verbose_name rather than the pluralize template filter. Either way, the resolution stands.
