Not to be a jerk, but you're wrong: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/media#Etymology_2 > As I often do in that situation, I > deleted those files and changed the name to "MediaOutlet" so it would > act predictably. > And as a side effect, got a model name that makes it *way* easier to understand what you're actually representing. Until you clarified it, my first guess was going to be that 'Media' was a class representing an audio/video/image file. Here's what would be nice to happen: > > model: Media > controller: media_controller > route: /media, media_path, media_new_path, etc... > params: params['media']['etc'] > > That beats having to call pluralize and singularize all the time and > try to keep it straight. For bonus points, how would the new behavior distinguish between the 'show' and 'index' actions? (currently plural-with-no-args vs. singular-with-one-arg) I suspect you're going to face a lot of pushback from all the developers who *have* managed to "keep it straight", since your suggestion involves breaking every one of their applications. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
