the default dataset has a group "Servers Hardware". this seems to be a typo/style issue, it is suggested to be changed to "Server hardware" instead (notice the use of singular).

All group names are in plurar including parent Templates. Are you sure that ;Server hardware' is a good change?

Comment by richlv [ 2018 Jan 25 ]

it's a thing with english. "Templates" is correct, but it's "Server hardware", not the plural for "server".
as another example, it would be "Item list", not plural for "item".

martins-v should be able to provide names for these peculiarities

"Server Hardware" is the proper naming, even if many servers are meant.

It probably is so, because "Server's Hardware" and "Servers' Hardware" are also possible (notice the possessive case), so using a construction like "Servers Hardware" on top of these would create an indistinguishable mess, especially when speaking. (Just my opinion, not a scientific fact.)

You may wonder - well, how can then I express that it is many servers, not one? Well, for one, most English speakers will guess that you mean many, the whole class. For another, there is the possibility of the "of" phrase if it is absolutely necessary to stress the plurality - that would be like "Hardware of Servers". Using the "of" phrase without need in not considered a good style though.
