Do rails MVC naming convention work with words which plural form is "-ies" (e.g. replies)?

Question

I was thinking of creating a model called Reply. I was wondering if Rails knows that its plural form is replies and not replys?

Why not just try it? It would surly be faster to run `rails g model reply` and figure it out yourself. — user229044, Oct 31 '12 at 04:45

I believe it internally relies on the pluralize method, so you can check in a rails console what is the result of a particular pluralisation :

"reply".pluralize
=> "replies"

So the answer to your question is yes ;)

Rails may or may not know the plural form of any word, but if it doesn't you can teach it by adding it to config/initializers/inflections.rb.
