Rails core - Jul 2007 - when to use singular and plurals in such things as script/generate?

This is not really a question about when to use singular or plurals.
But a question about changing the Usage files for such generators as
model, resource, scaffold, etc.

I personally find it hard to figure out if I should give script/
generate a singluar or a plural.  I know in the past (using Rails 1.2)
I gave it the wrong one and had to back it out and redo it.

My question is should I open a trac with the Usage statements with a
line added such as:

"Usually the model argument is singluar"

I know there are exceptions to this -- thats why I put "Usually".

Does anyone else have trouble with this?  I''m happy to submit a patch
if others think it would be useful.

Thanks,
Perry

I can''t think why you''d *want* to pass it a plural, unless
you''re
thinking in a really ''table centric'' manner.   But yes,  I
can''t
really think of a valid reason why the documentation needs to
emphasize the ability to use the plural form.
