Re: naming Model

Imagine your native language, say, Japanese, doesn't inflect for
pluralization. Now imagine you're using a framework that does. While
I'm not going to suggest that 5 months is now reasonable for getting
some basic functionality going, it seems totally reasonable to me that
5 months later you still don't understand intuitively why some things
are singular and some things are plural.
