It's almost like they'd never heard of a Porter Stemmer.

  A porter stemmer has disadvantages too as it would combine 'training' and 'trains' (freight).

    Maybe you just need something that trains your porter stemmer to avoid such mistakes.

      guys, I just had a great machine-learning startup idea...

    Because of this ambiguity, they could easily configure the stemmer to only de-pluralize instead.
