With all due respect to the developer… does it annoy anybody else that this website says "1 visits" instead of "1 visit" when you make a new post?

MS-DOS did that back in the day. 1 files. I think they changed it to file(s).

My operating system is English.

At least it's not "An UID".

It's too autistic to fix it…

n=>n+" visit"+(n===1?"":"s");
n=>`${n} visit${n===1?"":"s"}`;

Some other languages don't even have a plural form for nouns, thankfully I guess (is that a good thing)?

Wouldn't a simple if/else do it? The whole site is in English so we don't need to worry about other languages that lack plural forms, and the minimum count will always be 1 since OP is redirected to the thread after posting so they'll always be registered as the first view.

Too verbose, can't be used as an inline expression either (some other programming languages can).
Also:

function pluralize(singular,times){
  if(times==1)return singular;
  return singular+"s";
}

Please beware of irregular and uncountable nouns (there's a library for that).

        return final+extra;
    });
}
console.log(pluralize("Straight man ")+"will self-insert themselves as "+pluralize("the Beautiful Woman... ")); //use case example

@661,897 (D)
In ES6 you could make that a one liner

const pluralize = (singular, times) => singular + (times === 1 ? "" : "s");
