In Word, when you right click on a word, there's a Synonyms submenu. This typically works great, but when you try to get a synonym of a plural word, the only option you have is to select the singular form of the word. From there you can right click again and select the synonym you want from the Synonyms submenu. Of course, your word is now singular, so you'll have to change it to the plural form. This seemingly easy task is now complicated because of an s. I'd like to see one of two things happen here. (A) Update the built-in thesaurus to understand plural forms of words; or, (B) instead of forcing the user to change the word to its singular form, make that selection a submenu with the related synonyms under it. I can only assume the former would be an easy update since they already know the difference between the singular and plural forms of the word. As for the latter, perhaps a picture would better describe what I'm talking about. On the left, you'll see what Word 2007 does when you right click on a plural word; on the right, you'll see my suggestion, where the singular form is a submenu.
