Project fails to startup when naming a crud module as a plural noun that doesn't end in 's'.

[donohutcheon]

The bug is reproducible by following the following Youtube video MeanJS - MEAN stack Yeoman Generator Tutorial from 3:47 up to 5:54.

The problem occurs because the crud-module/templates/tests/server/_.server.routes.tests.js file refers to a variable named <%= camelizedPluralName %>GetRes on line 89 but in the function definition on line 82 the argument is named : camelizedSingularName %>sGetErr. For most English nouns this problem will go undetected, however in the case of Superheroes (and other plural nouns that don't end in 's') the test defines a function argument of SuperherosGetRes (line 82) but on line 89 refers to the correct plural variable name: SuperheroesGetRes.

The result is that the test fails and gulp does not initialise the application when executed using gulp:

$ gulp

Obviously there are other scenarios where the inflections module will fail to match the module name to the appropriate noun / plural noun, for example formulae becomes formulaes. For this specific scenario the actual template code is inconsistent and should be fixed.

I'd like to submit a patch for this bug that will correct the problem.

@donohutcheon Can you submit a PR for it?

[donohutcheon]

No problem. I'm new to GitHub but keen to help. What's the protocol? Do I need permissions to create a new branch?
