I am still confused by rails 3 new rules, and knowing so little about
it,I want some help on a particular problem: inflection when creating
models:
what can I do in order to get rails generate model using words ending
in ''a'', so that the plural generated add an
''s''
If I edit config/initializers/inflections.rb and add the
appropiate rule
inflect.plural /(.*)a$/, ''\1as''
I solve the problem.
What collateral effects is to expect ?

This can have consequences if it ends up changing the pluralization of existing, models, resources etc. that were in your app. For example rails knows that has_many :items means that the associated model is Item. if you changed the pluralization rules such that when rails singularized items it got something other than item then rails would guess the wrong class name That said, for me pluralizing words ending in ''a'' does seem to just add a s.

For example the plural of datum is data. @OP: out of interest what words are you pluralising?
