jeffa, thanks for your reply ;-).
I'm not strongly positive on whether to use plurals or singulars for arrays or hashes. I had to struggle with that one a couple times and never seem to be able to find a common ground. In the back of my mind, I too feel that avoiding using plurals in similar instances is the sane thing to do.

Of course, variable naming shouldn't be taken to extreme (as also pointed out by
Zaxo from the CB conversation ;-). More often then not, I find myself in a similar position where I am not able to come up with a suitable name in a couple minutes. Often, I simply take the best knowledgable guess and proceed. Optionally, leaving a comment just the way you do.
