Syntax

string = WordToSingular ( string data );

A string containing source word. The string cannot be larger than 512 bytes.

Return Value

Returns a string with an adjusted word. If the function fails, the same data is returned and an error condition is set. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
