Simple Plural Data Processing

Plural computation is very easy to understand because it is the programming equivalent of plurals in natural language. Thus
     wage$ = rate$ X time$;
will calculate the wages for all of the employees at ABC regardless of how many there are (even if only one). The $ is always used in place of "s" as the "plural marker" to avoid irregular spellings. Thus if a column is labeled "candy," its natural language plural is "candies," but its Anglish plural is "candy$" (pronounced candies).
