Add the line:

<pre><code>ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false
</code></pre>

to the bottom of:

<pre><code>rails_application_path/config/environment.rb
</code></pre>

I find this pluralisation to be one of weirdest features in the framework. I personally like my tables as non-pluralized nouns but whatever. I just wanted to comment that I think it is bizarre. The framework rocks however.

What about a table named equipment? I added the line:
<code>
set_table_name "equipment"
</code> to the equipment model, but then <code>./script/generate scaffold Equipment Equipment </code> failed to generate the <code>_form.rhtml</code> properly.
