Hi, I have a question for all of you. :)

Is minus one (-1) plural or singular in your language?

I would say "Минус едно јаболко" (singular) in Macedonian.

On #django one guy said that he would say "minus ein äpfel" (plural) in
German.

Those languages in django/conf/locale/ that have defined Plural-Forms
don't have -1 as a special case. Prehaps because gettext doesn't allow
negative numbers there[*]. :)

Site from http://www.google.com/search?q=define:plural say that plural
is "more than one". They don't mention is that absolute or not. :)

So what would you say in your language (even in english) for -1?

I don't want to repeat and use a custom filter for pluralize and only
change value!=1 to abs(value)!=1. If -1 is plural in English the change
should go in the main trunk. :)
