Oh, so you name your tables 'fish' and 'crow' instead of 'school' and 'murder' ? Such wasted opportunities :p
OTOH, either is better than some insane DBA who calls them "TableOf????" (camel case in quotes to preserve case) to be "self documenting and easy to read" (Likely a COBOL programmer in a former life). Oh, and then "to make it simple", all the SQL uses the AS to "alias" the table name to a single alphabetic character in [a-z].
