in thread Why Perl Announcements in Newest Nodes?

the headings are plural

Not all. "Discussion" is singular (as are the relatively unimportant "sitedoclet" and "Craft").

In any case, I don't see a compelling reason for these headings to be plural.

We're building the house of the future together.

    The headings denote that what is listed beneath them is the latest entries in the section. So the headings describe the entries in a section and not the sections. You don't say "I added a news to the Perl News section". We could just make all (well, most) of the headings of the form "Newest [Section Name] Nodes".

    Meh. Whatever. Let's schedule a conference to properly define and implement the optimal Newest Nodes heading construction methodology and just leave things as-is for now? (:

    I figured trying to use gooder English would appeal to you (making the headings more accurate), rather than trying to avoid any English transformations.

    But whatever y'all decide is fine with me. Really.
