create alias beans -> bean
create alias berries -> berry
create alias peas -> pea
Not sure if there needs to be a plural form tag in addition to its singular form tag. Since the the legume's fruit and vegetable brethren are tagged in the singular form, it's only logical that it follows!
Its child tags "senzu bean", "soybean", and etc. are all in the singular form as well, I may add.
But what about post #2862320? Using my state of the art visual optic sensors (eyes), I can deduce that there is only a singular bean in this image.
To tag this image with "beans" would be a lie. A farce. An outright fib. For every image that contains a plurality of beans contains at least one singular bean... but not every image containing a singular bean contains multiple!
The vast majority of images tagged with "cloud" feature more than one cloud. One could argue the tag should be "clouds." But sometimes... there only is one cloud! Thanks to the "cloud" being singular, we are prepared for radical situations like these, if they should occur.
As with those tags, I'm noticing that the majority of their children are also using the singular form as well:
Singular
vs.
Plural
I'm going to do something radical. Absolutely HOG WILD, if you will. I'm looking at all of our berry tags. We have 55 different berry tags. And every single one is singular!

I'm adding berries and peas to the BUR. Because it'd be easier to change 3 tags than, uh, 50+ tags.
For reference, berry was discussed in topic #16978.
The bulk update request #4565 (forum #179828) has been rejected by @evazion.
Berries -> berry was done in topic #17751.
For beans and peas, I would say these normally come in plural form. It's possible to have a single bean, but it's not the common case, just as it's not the common case to have only one grape or one noodle. For things that normally come in plural form, we use the plural tag.
