About a month ago I asked how you name arrays, singular or plural. I got 9 responses. Summary: 1. Almost everybody agrees that nothing is ever plural. 2. Form used (normalized) Number of proponents use suffix: struct word word = word_vec[n]; 4 use abbev.: struct word wrd = word[n]; 3 use plural: struct word word = words[n]; 1 use operator: REF WORD word = n TH_OF words; 1 I think I'll use possibility 2 more systematically: it is readable and concise.
