Why have plural at all. All rest urls except index, which is easily discernible because it has no id, make more sense in the singular: get /ticket/12 patch

Why have plural at all. All rest urls except index, which is easily discernible because it has no id, make more sense in the singular: get /ticket/12 patch /ticket/12 put /ticket The problem is not humans getting confused by 'gooses', but that sometimes your code has to do the mapping, and there are plenty of edge-cases. Just avoid the issue entirely by sticking with singular throughout.
