Is xxx what you are actually typing or just a placeholder? If it's the
former, then the difference is probably the set of inflections rails
users to pluralize xxx, which i think has changed somewhere between
2.x and 3.x. With some words, you can get situations where taking a
word, pluralizing it and then singularizing it again doesn't get you
the original word, which occasionally leads to trouble. I would expect
things to work properly with a word that was a more normal name for a
model.
