Automagic pluralization is easily the dummest thing Ruby on Rails ever implemented, and that's saying a lot because DHH wouldn't recognize a foreign key if I made him digest it. Every time I see this idea stolen and reimplemented in other technologies, I feel like I'm watching more lemmings jump over the cliff. No software should depend on grammatical pluralization rules to join tables in a database. That's just dumb from every angle. Oh well, maybe EF 4 will fix the rest of their travesties and quit wasting time on toys like this. Nice summary of a bad feature though. Yuck.
