```go
inflection.Plural("person") => "people"
inflection.Plural("Person") => "People"
inflection.Plural("PERSON") => "PEOPLE"

## Register Rules

Standard rules are from Rails's ActiveSupport (https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/lib/active_support/inflections.rb)

If you want to register more rules, follow:

```go
inflection.AddUncountable("fish")
inflection.AddIrregular("person", "people")
inflection.AddPlural("(bu)s$", "${1}ses") // "bus" => "buses" / "BUS" => "BUSES" / "Bus" => "Buses"
inflection.AddSingular("(bus)(es)?$", "${1}") // "buses" => "bus" / "Buses" => "Bus" / "BUSES" => "BUS"
```
