Description

When pluralizing the collection name, mongoose sets it to "Humen". Plural for human is not humen, it's not a real word. The correct plural form is "Humans".

Steps to Reproduce

Simply naming passing "Human" to the model function results in this bug. (const Human = mongoose.model("Human", humanSchema);).

Expected Behavior

Should be set to "Humans" instead.

Political Correct would be people. ;)
Tbh. It was bad to integrate pluralization into mongoose the first place. You can override the collectionname in the model confuguration.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const testSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String
});

const Human = mongoose.model('Human', testSchema);

async function run() {
  await mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017');
  await mongoose.connection.dropDatabase();

  const collections = mongoose.connection.collections;
  Object.keys(collections).forEach(entry => {
    console.log(entry);
    console.log(mongoose.connection.collections[entry].name)
  });
}

run();

We can only fix pluralization issues with major version bump.
