As far as I know, all this does is change inflections. This can have
consequences if it ends up changing the pluralization of existing,
models, resources etc. that were in your app. For example rails knows
that has_many :items means that the associated model is Item. if you
changed the pluralization rules such that when rails singularized
items it got something other than item then rails would guess the
wrong class name
That said, for me pluralizing words ending in 'a' does seem to just
add a s.
