require

Writing some ruby code (not rails) and I need to handle something like this:

found 1 match
found 2 matches

I have rails installed so maybe I might be able to add a require clause at the top of the script, but does anyone know of a RUBY method that pluralizes strings? Is there a class I can require that can deal with this if the script isn't rails but I have rails installed?

Thanks in advance!
