Rails - Apr 2006 - pluralization issue? (taxes/taxis)

Hi all,

Here''s an odd one. I have a "Tax" model which is related via
a habtm
relationship to a "Storefront" model. In my view_store rhtml file, I 
have the line :

@storefront.taxes.each do |tax|

This line returns the following error:

NameError in Admin#view_store

Showing app/views/admin/view_store.rhtml where line #52 raised:

uninitialized constant Taxis

See that? "Taxes" has become "Taxis". Since I am not trying
to attach a
Yellow Cab to my customers'' orders, I don''t want that. A
search of the
whole Rails app turns up no instances of the string "taxi" anywhere. 
Therefore I suspect an oddball pluralization.
>From the console, "taxi".pluralize returns "taxis", and
"tax".pluralize
returns "taxes", so they look right. Just to be safe, I redeclared
those
plurals explicitly in my environment.rb. Still no dice.

I am at a loss, so I am throwing it out to y''all in the hopes someone 
might have stumbled across this issue.

thanks,

Michael.

Apparently the singular -> plural and plural -> singular conversions are 
not the same thing, so adding the singularize directives fixed the 
problem:

Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.plural ''tax'', ''taxes''
  inflect.plural ''taxi'', ''taxis''
  inflect.singular ''taxes'', ''tax''
  inflect.singular ''taxis'', ''taxi''
end

Rails must think that "taxi" is the singular of "taxes" by
default.
