 As the previous example shows, Active Support knows some irregular plurals and uncountable nouns. Builtin rules can be extended in +config/initializers/inflections.rb+. That file is generated by the +rails+ command and has instructions in comments.
 
+Active Record uses this method to compute the default table name that corresponds to a model:

+# active_record/base.rb
