I don't believe I've ever seen a Companies table. 😀 It's always been just Company where ever I worked.
I have and it has left a permanent scar on my brain. I am a naturally good speller and I was a consultant at a place for almost 3 years that had a "Companys" table. To this day I have to stop and think about how to spell it. This is a real world example of what you describe about the complexities of plurals in English. The table was designed by a non-native English speaker. :w00t:
