Is there a way to use pluralize() inside a model rather than a view?

It seems pluralize only works within a view -- is there some way that my models can use pluralize too?

Rather than extend things, I just it like this:

ActionController::Base.helpers.pluralize(count, 'mystring')

Hope this helps someone else!
