In the Database world, it is the convention for the table names to be singular. Rails irks the pure DB-folks by pluralizing table names. In my previous project, the DBA was terribly upset with the pluralized table names that was created because of Rails and was hell bent on singularization of the table names. I won't blame him for that. In fact, I support it.
But know what Rails is an awesome framework, you can ensure that the table names are not pluralized with a single configuration line in your project's environment.rb file.
