**Steps to reproduce:**

Create a simple project with one visible achievement that awards the player one point and award it somewhere.

```nohighlight
*achievement onep visible 1 One point test
    One point not achieved yet.
    One point achieved.

```

…

`*achieve onep`

**Expected result**

The text in the achievement section of the game is formatted correctly.

**Actual result**

Text is pluralized, even when it is not correct. Below are screenshots with the achievement screen text with and without the achieved achievement.

While strictly speaking incorrect behaviour, I imagine this might be known and intentional. It takes some small effort to handle plurals in code, and considering the likelihood of a game only ever having one achievement, it’s probably not worth it.

I agree, it’s not a big deal. I stumbled upon it while testing achievements.
