- munk-a 3y agoCurse you - it's an apple collection not a collection of apples! I loathe plurality in table names because it's hard for ESL developers due to the plethora of irregular pluralities (like the word pluralities) in english. If object/entity names and table names are both singular you can do a lot of stuff on autopilot.

- munk-a 3y agoSorry ESL here is "English as a Second Language" - or non-native english speakers. Our company has a diverse set of employees and only about 60% of us have English as our native language.
- funcDropShadow 3y agoThen enable a spell checker in the editor / ide in which you write your SQL. Not being a native speaker should never be used as an argument against proper naming and wording of code and or documentation. I am not a native English speaker as well. As pointed out by other replies to your comment. Abbreviations can lead to similar problems even with native speakers.
