Return a plural suffix if the value is not 1, '1', or an object of length 1. By default, use 's' as the suffix:

• If value is 0, pluralize.Pluralize(0, "vote") display "votes".
• If value is 1, pluralize.Pluralize(1, "vote") display "vote".
• If value is 2, pluralize.Pluralize(2, "vote") display "votes".

If an argument is provided, use that string instead:

• If value is 0, pluralize.Pluralize(0, "class", "es") display "classes".
• If value is 1, pluralize.Pluralize(1, "class", "es") display "class".
• If value is 2, pluralize.Pluralize(2, "class", "es") display "classes".

If the provided argument contains a comma, use the text before the comma for the singular case and the text after the comma for the plural case:

• If value is 0, pluralize.Pluralize(0, "cand", "y,ies") display "candies".
• If value is 1, pluralize.Pluralize(1, "cand", "y,ies") display "candy".
• If value is 2, pluralize.Pluralize(2, "cand", "y,ies") display "candies".
