Summary0003438: "Forge xxx gauntlet" task missing plural, actually forges a pair of gauntlets
DescriptionThe task text should mention plural items instead of a single item when producing more than one item.

Ideally, it would include the number of produced items when above one (forge pair of seel gauntlets, forge pair of steel high boots, forge 3 sterling silver flasks, make 5 bone bolts, ...)
Steps To Reproduce- q/a on a Metalsmith Forge
- queue a single "Forge steel gauntlet" task
- admire the pair of steel gauntlets the armorer made

I queued 10 jobs of "Forge steel gauntlet", thinking I'd end up with 5 pairs but obtained 10 pairs.

The following items would be affected:

* All handwear (gauntlets, gloves, mittens)
* All footwear (high boots, low boots, shoes, socks)
* Flasks (metal flasks, glass vials, and leather waterskins)
* Goblets (metal goblets, glass goblets, rock mugs, and wooden cups)

Bolts are already shown in plural; the only issue is that they don't indicate the quantity (which would be problematic anyways, since bone bolts are produced in stacks of 5 while others come in stacks of 25).

This still exists in 0.40.18. In fact, there is a thread on the forums asking about how this works, definitely causes confusion for people.
