Hi all<br><br>There are quite a number of Card game cards in OCAL.<br>The proper word for these are Hearts, Clubs, Spades, Diamonds respectively.<br>BUT, this breaks our policy on having singular tags.<br>Should I change the "diamonds" to "diamond"?<br>
I does work but it might not be intuitive for someone searching for cards, or diamonds, for example.<br><br>Compare<br>Singular : <a href="http://openclipart.org/media/files/momoko/10975">http://openclipart.org/media/files/momoko/10975</a><br>
Plural: <a href="http://openclipart.org/media/files/momoko/10978">http://openclipart.org/media/files/momoko/10978</a><br><br>The question arises because "Diamonds" to me means the card type (singular), or the full set of "Diamonds" (singular), or many 20carat diamonds (plural); whereas "diamond" to me means the shape, or a 20carat gem (singular).<br>
<br>In the same way "Cards" can mean a pack of playing cards (singular), or many playing cards (plural), or thick papers, Yet "card" can also include things that are NOT playing cards. (e.g. a get well card clipart, table placement card, referee penalty card, ticket, etc) <br>
<br>A similar issue arises for Hearts/heart, Spades/spade, Clubs/club. All
of these terms have different meanings in singular or plural. <br><br>What should I do with the tags of these types of things? (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades, Card/Cards). Should I leave the playing card clipart tags as the plural? This doesn't really effect clipart that are named clearly in English, but it might affect clipart that are titled in other languages. e.g. <a href="http://openclipart.org/media/files/jean_victor_balin/3996">http://openclipart.org/media/files/jean_victor_balin/3996</a>. It also shouldn't effect the search very much, but it seems odd to me to search for diamond, when I mean diamonds.<br>
