• I don't get pluralisation, certainly US based folk seem to be all for it, Brits less so. Perhaps it's due to a difference in the teaching of sets?

    Here, I was taught

    Set:Red a set with the attribult of being red

    Set:Car a set with the attribute of being a car

    the intersection in a venn diagram would be a set which are both Red and a Car.

    Pluralisation also, IMO, leads to inconsistency in naming.

    Take the table holding sales orders;

    Name SalesOrder - and you call the table holding the associated lines SalesOrderLine - makes sense to me;

    SalesOrders - so then you have SalesOrdersLines (or more correctly [SalesOrders'Lines])? That just looks wrong to me.

    Or is it SalesOrderLines - which means you're naming the SalesOrder(s) element inconsistently
