Rails - Feb 2008 - Creating incorrect plurals when generating scaffold

Preface: I''m trying to find my way through the "Build Your Own
Ruby on
Rails Web Application" book. I''m completely new to programming and
am
having a hard time figuring out the differences between rails 2.0.2 and
what''s in the book so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I''m confused because I finally thought I''d figured out the
whole
scaffolding thing but when I try to generate a scaffold for "Story",
it
creates EVERYTHING as "stories". I even have to go to
http://localhost:3000/stories instead of http://localhost:3000/story to
see the scaffold. When I generate a scaffold for "stories" it makes
the
exact same thing. Am I missing something?

I''m running this in Terminal a Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard) with MySQL,
Rails
2.0.2 and Ruby 1.8.6, and WeBRICK

Here''s the code, the only commands I did before this is
$rails -d mysql shovell
$cd shovell


admins-macbook:shovell Admin$ script/generate scaffold Story name:string
link:string
      exists  app/models/
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      create  app/views/stories
      exists  app/views/layouts/
      exists  test/functional/
      exists  test/unit/
      create  app/views/stories/index.html.erb
      create  app/views/stories/show.html.erb
      create  app/views/stories/new.html.erb
      create  app/views/stories/edit.html.erb
      create  app/views/layouts/stories.html.erb
      create  public/stylesheets/scaffold.css
  dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
      create    app/models/story.rb
      create    test/unit/story_test.rb
      create    test/fixtures/stories.yml
      create    db/migrate
      create    db/migrate/001_create_stories.rb
      create  app/controllers/stories_controller.rb
      create  test/functional/stories_controller_test.rb
      create  app/helpers/stories_helper.rb
       route  map.resources :stories

Then I just run
$rake db:migrate

and everything works fine at http://localhost:3000/stories

You''re doing the right thing. Controllers are plural, models are  
singular. You''ll have to do the translation between what''s
printed in
the book and how Rails'' scaffold works.

By observing these pluralization rules, routing becomes far easier, so  
unless you''re keen to swim upstream don''t try to force
controllers
into singular form.
