Well, it's better than my French, so who am I to complain? (As everyone knows, the English speak French by USING ENGLISH WORDS, BUT SHOUTING... :-)) > So I guess "get_egg_info" is the shortest, proper form ? That would be fine, yes. (Though I have a sneaking suspicion that I saw one place which had both _info and _infos, with the _infos form being the way of getting multiple copies of the things that _info gets one of. That's harder to deal with - I'll have a look and see if I can find the place I mean.)

I'd interpret the singular form as a function that returns one > EggInfo object. That's the place I mean. But I'm not sure I like the idea of calling it an "EggInfo". I'll see if I can think of a better name (but not being familiar with the domain, I'm not sure I'll be able to). If it has to be an "EggInfo", then you shouldn't break it with underscores - so you have get_egginfo - get an EggInfo object from wherever get_egginfos - get a list of EggInfo objects (and make sure that the invented term EggInfo is defined somewhere before it gets used here).
