I personaly prefer to use plural names to represent a set, it just "sounds" better to my relational mind.
At this exact moment i am using singular names to define a data model for my company, because most of the people at work feel more confortable with it.
Sometimes you just have to make life easier to everyone instead of imposing your personal preferences.
(that's how i ended up in this thread, to get a confirmation on what should be the "best practice" for naming tables)
After reading all the arguing in this thread, i reached one conclusion:
I like my pancakes with honey, no matter what everybody's favorite flavour is. But if i am cooking for other people, i will try to serve them something they like.
