Could that be changed? Without going to "1 comment(s)"?

Could you rephrase your question, please? I have no idea what you mean ...

I think he wants the stories to display "1 comment" instead of "1 comments" on the main page.

If that's the case, in lib-common.php, in COM_article, change the following:
Text Formatted Code
if( $A['comments'] > 0 )
{
    $article->set_var( 'comments_url', $_CONF['site_url']
        . '/article.php?story=' . $A['sid'] . '#comments' );
    $article->set_var( 'comments_text', $A['comments'] . ' '
        . $LANG01[3] );
    $article->set_var( 'comments_count', $A['comments'] );
    $article->set_var( 'lang_comments', $LANG01[3] );

    $result = DB_query( "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date) AS day,username FROM {$_TABLES['comments']},{$_TABLES['users']} WHERE {$_TABLES['users']}.uid = {$_TABLES['comments']}.uid AND sid = '{$A['sid']}' ORDER BY date desc LIMIT 1" );
    $C = DB_fetchArray( $result );

    $recent_post_anchortag = '<span class="storybyline">'
        . $LANG01[27] . ': '
        . strftime( $_CONF['daytime'], $C['day'] ) . ' '
        . $LANG01[104] . ' ' . $C['username'] . '</span>';
    $article->set_var( 'start_comments_anchortag', '<a href="'
        . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/article.php?story=' . $A['sid']
        . '#comments">' );
    $article->set_var( 'end_comments_anchortag', '</a>' );
}

After each story, the number of comments are displayed (at least in the themes I've looked at).

Just note that I quickly hardcoded it so that it will only display in English. If you want this to work for other languages, you will have to do more mucking around in the language files.
