Golang : Takes a plural word and makes it singular

Here is a program that will convert a plural word into its singular form and at the same time it will check to see if the word is countable or not. If the word pluralized form is the same as the singular, the program's functions will avoid singularizing the given word.

By all means, the maps are not complete. Feel free to add in the missing words.

Can be useful in enhancing chat bot or simply just to follow the rule of grammar.

NOTES: This program purposely avoided using regular expression.

Here you go!
