Plural of cow isn't kine ... anymore
Reported by eydaimon | November 4th, 2008 @ 06:34 AM | in 2.x
$ ./script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0)
"cow".pluralize => "kine"
from: http://dictionary.reference.com/... cow –noun, plural cows, (Archaic) kine.
Note that kine is now archaic. It's no more correct to use 'kine' than it is to use "thou" for "you" "thyne" for "yours" and "art" for "are".
Or we can have all of rails be in Old English a la Beowulf style :P http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/b...

suggest adding die => dice, and catus => cacti etc since I'm at it.

Since the introduction of config/initializers/inflections.rb, we've pretty much frozen changes to the pluralizer. Someone who right now had a kine table would get screwed by this change. Think of all the ranchers ;)
