Re: Admin Site appending letter "s" to end of each model\table name

I'm a newbie to object-oriented programming too, so I suppose my mindset is still in procedural, SQL and "recordset" modes, and otherwise: my old ways :-) Thanks for that additional info. Good Points.

It's conventional to name model in the singular by default, such as Movie and Book. You have a 'Movie' model, not a 'Movies' model. It also makes the default in the admin make perfect sense. If you have something that does end in is or the plural doesn't end in S (ox/oxen) then use verbose_name_plural.

If you think about it, a "Movies" doesn't have a "title" and "year_released" and a "rating" -- a "Movie" does.
