I like lint and I like var names that mean something to humans unless
humans don't need to use them.
I also am not a fan of the plural form.
In my applications I would probably use "recommendation"
Let the app add the "s".
foreach (something as thing) add recommendation[thing].
user table vs users table.
What variant or you talking about vs what variants are you talking
about.
It's a variant not a variants.
It's a recommendation not a recommendations.
usersnames
groupsnames
And I will be so totally happy with any var that works so I'll shut up
now.
And I have had some wine;)
