I agree completely with  you. I have disliked the pluralized directory paths
since day one, and have felt bad for using my own structure partly due to
not following the standards. 

I couldn't agree any more with you on this statement. I am not a fan of the
"Default Project" structure, and since hearing someone claim it should be
changed to a "Sample Project" structure, I no longer feel I am taking an
incorrect path ( as a seasoned developer ).
