I am replying as I am usually the one killed on inflections. So, I found if
I include both of the below, I get good output:
inflect.singular('regatas', 'regatta')
inflect.plural('regatta', 'regattas')
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :001 > "regatta".pluralize
=> "regattas"
ruby-1.8.7-p334 :002 > "regattas".singularize
=> "regatta"

Does this work for you? I can also conrifm that your other examples are the
