Description
The built-in singularize function yields lots of false positives:
Here're some examples:
- business
- virginia
- tour
- loss
It ends up I need to define a self-maintained exception dictionary, which is really inconvenient.
I know it's hard to cover all cases, but some of the false positives are really trivial.
I am quite disappointed given this repo receives lots of stars.

Research direction
Start by locating the singularize function and reviewing how it handles the reported examples: business, virginia, tour, and loss. Define the expected behavior for these false positives and add focused regression coverage; the work is done when these examples no longer produce incorrect singularization without requiring an exception dictionary.
