Bad Plurals

November 28, 2025

Sometimes people try to pluralize words by using (s). For example, plant(s).

This rule looks for that behavior and flags it:

extends: existence
message: "Rewrite '%s' to be plural without parentheses."
level: warning
ignorecase: true
raw:
  - '\b\w+\(s\)(?<!http\(s\))'
