Hmm, I generally don't like to change my coding habbits and by now we usually use the plural form for stuff like $rows, $elements and friends. This generally indicates that you have a collection of something, which you can iterate over or access dedicatedly. I find it quite clear and intuitive. In addition, I don't see a point in changing this now and creating a mess in the code due to the resulting mixture of both namings.
