Summary
Several count labels across the Desktop Mode UI were built with a single hardcoded plural string via
__()+sprintf()instead of_n(), so at a count of 1 they render ungrammatically — e.g. "1 posts in this category.", "1 replies", "Replies (1)". This switches each to_n( singular, plural, number ).Spans the Posts window (Categories, Tags, post list, Profile), the Comments window, and the Content Graph — same defect class throughout. One fix per commit.
Fixes #350.
