Fix pluralization logic III

[sashadev-sky]

Please note we are preparing to participate in Google Code-in, and have reserved this issue for GCI participants - but we'd love to have your help with another one! Please check out https://code.publiclab.org to see more.

First Time?

This is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

The problem

The pluralization in the screenshot above is incorrect (ie. should be "1 person" not "1 people")

Solution

This is a simple one -- lets find the relevant line of code first:

plots2/app/views/tag/_profileCard.html.erb

Line 7 in a5d3392

<p class="posted-by-links"><a href="/tag/<%= tag.name %>"><%= Tag.follower_count(tag.name) %> people discussing</a></p>

As you can see, this line has no conditional and "people" will always just be plural.

Let's correct this: - Rails gives us a really convenient way to resolve it through the pluralize method.

Update the inner a tag to use the method like so:

<a href="/tag/<%= tag.name %>"><%= pluralize(Tag.follower_count(tag.name), 'person') %> discussing</a>

Thanks!!
