Re: my earlier post on Rails Inflections ( http://davidcelis.com/blog/2012/07/18/the-current-state-of-rails-inflections/ ), I’ve provided a gem with more sane defaults: https://github.com/davidcelis/inflections

Wrote a post on inflections (singularization/pluralization rules) in Rails and why they’re such a mess: http://davidcelis.com/blog/2012/07/18/the-current-state-of-rails-inflections/
The State of Rails Inflections
Ah, the Rails Inflector; one way or another, we all know and love it. This little part of ActiveSupport has a lot of responsibility in our Rails applications, after all! It’s used to determine table names, class names, our resourceful routes, foreign keys… It’s a small part of ActiveSupport, but it has a huge footprint. Outside of Rails’ internal use of the Inflector, it also provides a lot of useful mechanisms for string manipulation to Rails developers. But how does the Inflector actually handle things like singularization and pluralization? English isn’t a regular language, after all!

The more I look at Rails inflections, the more I realize how much of a terrible mess it’s become.
