Pluralize in Rails View Issues

I have a question about the pluralize function. In my view, I have the following line of code. It passes in an item with a certain number of votes to determine if it the word "Vote" should be pluralized. 

 <%= pluralize(item.votes, 'Vote') %>

My issue is that my view passes out the word "Votes" followed by the certain number of votes (item.votes). I only want it to pass out the word "Votes". Ideas are much appreciated.

You can do simpler:

"Vote".pluralize(item.votes)

You can create your own method in a helper

def pluralize_without_count(string, count)
    count == 1 ? string : string.pluralize
end

and use it in your view:

<%= pluralize_without_count('Vote', item.votes) %>

You can do:

pluralize(items.votes, 'Vote').split(" ", 2)[1]

Hope that helps!
