Under accounts tab of a user's profile, words questions and answers are used even when count is 1. For live example, you can go to my profile & click accounts tab. Scroll down to Drupal Answers row where you can find "1 answers" which should be "1 answer". Or, scroll down to Server Fault row to see both "1 questions" and "1 answers".

  • This is one place where I feel the pluralization strategy is fine - and I just got finished sending another one to our esteemed Aussie to fix.

  • @JarrodDixon Same pluralization is correct on summary tab. In past, 1 Times has been corrected to 1 Time. Then, why is this one status-bydesign?

  • To me, the identifying text beneath each stat in the table acts as a header - the only reason it isn't a header cell is because there're 80+ sites in our network now and it's impractical to scroll back to the top to see what is in each column.

  • Now I'm going to see if header cells with a fixed position would look good and remove all the duplicated text completely - nothing to properly pluralize then!

This is not a bug.

It's actually a clever feature designed to encourage people with obsessive-compulsive tendencies who are bothered by this sort of thing to contribute more content to the site.

If you ask another question and post another answer, the problem goes away. It's not the developers who are at fault here, it's you!
