Title: Convert singular to plural. Select "a" or "an".

Description:
The exportable subroutines of Lingua::EN::Inflect provide plural
inflections, "a"/"an" selection for English words, and manipulation of
numbers as words

Plural forms of all nouns, most verbs, and some adjectives are provided.
Where appropriate, "classical" variants (for example: "brother" ->
"brethren", "dogma" -> "dogmata", etc.) are also provided.

Pronunciation-based "a"/"an" selection is provided for all English words,
and most initialisms.

It is also possible to inflect numerals (1,2,3) to ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
and to English words ("one", "two", "three).

In generating these inflections, Lingua::EN::Inflect follows the Oxford
English Dictionary and the guidelines in Fowler's Modern English Usage,
preferring the former where the two disagree.

The module is built around standard British spelling, but is designed to
cope with common American variants as well. Slang, jargon, and other
English dialects are _not_ explicitly catered for.

Where two or more inflected forms exist for a single word (typically a
"classical" form and a "modern" form), Lingua::EN::Inflect prefers the more
common form (typically the "modern" one), unless "classical" processing has
been specified (see the "MODERN VS CLASSICAL INFLECTIONS" manpage).
