Plural to Singular alias request thread

eidolon said: planets -> planet

Done.

crutches -> crutch

jjj14 said: crutches -> crutch

Huh, I was all ready to say natural pair but at a glance most of them only do show one, so maybe it's not as natural as I thought. Done.

beakers -> beaker

popped_buttons -> popped_button

It's rare, but there are cases where only one button has "popped". post #597221, post #292916, and post #288815, for example.

If it's rare for there to be single buttons, and buttons typically make up a natural set, I'd probably reverse the alias on that one.

Typically, yes, but unlike other natural pairs/sets, it's rather common for there to be a single button in a normal situation (unlike shoes, socks, etc.).

Pants tend to have one button, paired with a zipper, and it's not farfetched to think only one button of an endowed blouse has popped.

plushies -> plushie

Done up to here.

But plushie and plushies were already aliased to stuffed_animal.

directional_arrows -> directional_arrow

plushie is aliased to stuffed_animal, but plushies isn't. (30+ posts, tag still being used)

Odd, could have sworn I saw both when I checked. Apparently not though.

Did directional_arrow as well.

seed <-> seeds

Went with seed. Only a few posts anyway.

flies --> fly

bandaid_on_nipples --> bandaids_on_nipples, because it would have to be a damn big bandaid to cover both.

I dislike that tag in general, but I didn't have the time to address it until now.

Edit: forum #34495

bullet holes -> bullet hole

Done.
