John,

I've heard that companies with non-English speaking employees sometime
require non-plural naming because it is hard to spell the plural form of
many words correctly.

For instance these three words each require different changes to pluralize:
user -> user(s)
address -> address(es)
charity -> charit(ies)

If anyone knows the validity of this please post. Thanks.


Robert
