We've bandied this about. I've come up with a definitive
argument against messing with the plurality of column names.
When we record a woman's measurements, we do not say "hip"
measurement, we say "hips" because the measurement isn't
around one hip its around two. In the trickier sense,
is bust singular or plural? Of course, its really shorthand
for "bustline" but nobody says or writes "bustline", we write
"bust" (so, too, waist though you at least will see references
to waistline in "slimming" context).
I continue to build my fashion system and bang my head against
well-meaning assumptions that break sensible data models.
