anything ending with ss comes out with one s with singular_noun

[simudream]

p = inflect.engine()
p.singular_noun('dress')
'dres'
p.singular_noun('address')
'addres'

[anyeone]

I also see this with "ness" words such as p.singular_noun("wellness") = "welnes" and p.singular_noun("fitness") = "fitnes"

It also turned "clothes" into "clothe"

[pwdyson]

This is intended behaviour as this module is garbage in garbage out. If you ask for the singular of something that is not already a plural the output will not be sensible.

[jwg4]

I don't agree that this is intended behavior. If you ask for the singular of 'foo' it returns False as it recognizes that no plural is of this form. If you ask for the singular of a word ending in 'ss' it should also return False, as no plural of a word ending in 's' is formed by adding an additional 's'.

Just another one to the list

>>> engine.singular_noun('boss')
'bos'
>>> engine.singular_noun('class')
'clas'
>>> engine.singular_noun('glass')
'glas'

False would be more appropriate.

I've added these words as examples to consider in #15.
