<strong>
plural segment</strong>
is a segment which often includes a countable variable placeholder (a number for which the value can vary programmatically). Nouns are inflected by this grammatical number and generally have different forms for singular and plural. In English for instance we decline the word <code>
dog</code>
in <code>
1 dog</code>
and <code>
2 dog<strong>
s</strong></code>
.
