   If your categories are already pluralized you can use this:

   $categories = get_categories();
   echo "We have ";
   foreach( $categories as $category )
   {
   	echo $category->count.' '.$category->name.' ';
   }

   If you would like to pluralize automatically you need two functions:

   function ngtj_pluralize($count, $singular, $plural = false)
   {
   	if (!$plural) $plural = $singular . 's';
   	return ($count == 1 ? $singular : $plural) ;
   }

   and

   function ngtj_list_cats_plural()
   {
   	$categories = get_categories();
   
   	echo "We have ";
   
   	foreach( $categories as $category )
   	{
   		$cat_name = ngtj_pluralize( $category->count, $category->name, $category->name.'s' );
   		echo $category->count.' '.$cat_name.' ';
   	}
   }
