If you're just in plain Ruby, it might depend on the pluralization
rule:
"#{n} month#{'s' unless n == 1}"
"#{n} part#{n == 1 ? 'y' : 'ies'}"
"#{n} fish"
You can also use String.pluralize
"#{n} {n == 1 ? 'month' : 'month'.pluralize}"

True, but my point was that you may not even need the help from
ActiveSupport for something simple (i.e., you are dealing with a known
rather than an arbitrary noun).
You can even do things like:
"#{n} #{n == 1 ? 'error prevents' : 'errors prevent'} the saving of
the record."
which tends to get very little help from the Inflector.
