Haha, I'm not naming any names here :-P. BTW, Craig says you should have spelled skillz with a z. Mike.

I personally have used singular names because I have never worked with a developer that had very good spelling skills and plurals add more typos and translation problems (even when its an english-speaking developer). And if you generate code at all, you end up teaching your generator to speak in plurals or entering all the forms of the word. Mike. Robert Gatti wrote: 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.
