I also am not a fan of the plural form.
In my applications I would probably use "recommendation"
Let the app add the "s".
foreach (something as thing) add recommendation[thing].
user table vs users table.
What variant or you talking about vs what variants are you talking
about.
It's a variant not a variants.
It's a recommendation not a recommendations.
usersnames
groupsnames
I was going for consistency with the existing variable names we have
in portfiles:
categories
platforms
master_sites
checksums
patchfiles
configure.args
depends_lib
These are already plural, and in each case, each one can have
multiple values. A port can be in multiple categories, work on
multiple platforms, be downloaded from multiple master_sites, etc.,
just as a port could offer multiple recommendations for supplemental
ports, and conceivably also for alternative ports.
