+1 for plural, just to make the discussion more interesting. :) Anyway, the reason for plurals is: it's a table, so it contains many records for something. Reason for singular is: ... it looks better in the API. singular in an API example: get.people.last() vs Get last person get.person.last() vs Get last person (more similar?) -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
