fix #H4457 - grammar nitpick
"Your pair of speed boots glow silver for a moment." should be "Your pair of speed boots glows silver for a moment.". The fix reverses a post-3.6.0 change to is_plural(). Also, add new pair_of() to test for object formatted as "pair of Bars". For verb usage, that's definitely singular, but for pronoun usage, sometimes plural seems better (although it might actually be incorrect). I fixed up the formatting of a block comment in obj.h, but it is still a candidate for tab cleanup.
