Wordsmith has somewhat opinionated defaults that can be hard to customize, as detailed in this issue: https://github.com/luckyframework/wordsmith/issues/17

My guidance to a new Lucky user was to do something like this when a bunch of overrides/customization are needed, effectively clearing out all defaults and building back up from scratch with what will work for your app:

# config/inflections.cr

module Wordsmith
  Inflector.inflections.clear

  Inflector.inflections.plural(/$/, "s")
  Inflector.inflections.plural(/s$/i, "s")

  # etc, etc, etc
end

We should probably include some kind of note or reference to the Wordsmith docs in the guides around the pluralization text helper section.

🛑 This is a nuclear option I don't think we should recommend, see https://github.com/luckyframework/wordsmith/issues/17#issuecomment-834746709

If it's in the public API and we don't want people to use it, I think we should remove it from the public API. It still seems like a viable approach to me since all of the defaults are in a single file.
