It's an ambiguity issue. (And a consistency issue with regards to conventional/common use.) more: While "busses" is indeed a correct spelling (and therefore will typically pass spelling checkers) and is listed in a sampling of dictionaries as an "alternate" spelling of "buses," it is not the (current) conventional plural form of the word "bus," and, more importantly, ambiguous enough as to rule out as a practical choice because the (English) word "busses" is also the plural (noun), and third-person singular simple present indicative form (verb), of the word "buss." In view of common use, "buss" definitively, and most definitely, does not convey the intended, common, and conventional, meaning as "bus" in context of the start-up code. In general, for good practices, it is prudent to avoid words labeled as "alternate" spellings, given a choice. (Side-note: Apparently, "busses" is additionally loaded as the French verb form second-person singular subjunctive imperfect of "boire.") "Buses" is the consistent, practical, simple-loaded plural form choice for non-ambiguous, conventional use throughout the project. --a
