There are some words that make sense and look good and sound good either way.
For example (these are not the actual words I am considering):
comic and comics
Comic as a stand alone word does not seem correct yet there is a huge following of Comic Con.
Comics would be a better choice for a collection of comics yet whenever I hear anyone talk about comics they are talking about comic books.
gun and guns
There is a gun collection. But doesn't that make it a collection of guns?
This singular and plural thing will drive you nuts.
