I raise the problem ... for example in italian this is not possible. Indeed
we don't have any suffixes, simply plural words ends with different
letters, depending on each word (in particular if it's a male or female
noun: for example usually if a word is "female" ends with an 'a' - I know
probably this can sound weird - we don't add anything to it, simply change
last letter with an 'e').
And so it's not an insertion of a suffix, but a substitution ... And
unfortunately there are many exceptions too. But it's the italian language ...
Probably we should add the chance to disable this attribute too for
languages that don't use suffixes. But I understand it's interesting for
the english language and, I suppose, for dutch too ... And so I vote +1,
but please pay attention to "my" problem.
