If you add a rule supposedly it should take precedence to all existing code. The only thing I could come up with is that Inflections thinks that 'regatta' is a plural and for some reason that decision takes precedence over any rule added. I know it may not make sense for you but I would consider changing the name of the model just to please Inflections..... how about 'SailBoatRace'?... we can go the way of euphanisms to avoid irregulars :) > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-talk+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
