Ember data: interpolated pluralization of model name

Say I have a DS.Store model called "userPreferences". Say I have a backend API returning a SINGLE "userPreferences" record:

{"userPreferences":{"userID":"7","latitude":null,"longitude":null}}

Say I have a route that I want to use this model with:

App.SettingsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function() {
        myModel = this.store.find('userPreferences', 7);
        return myModel;
    }
});

If I try to do this, I get the following error from ember:

Error: No model was found for 'userPreference'

How do I specify that I'm already returning the singular form?

If you don't ever plan to refer to a collection of userPreferences, as Steve H. suggested you might need to, you can define the phrase as uncountable: 

Ember.Inflector.inflector.uncountable('userPreferences');

Just be careful, you might need to also define:

Ember.Inflector.inflector.uncountable('user_preferences');

Because at present the inflector doesn't assume that you want both defined. The underscore version is sometimes used by ember-data when referring to model properties during serialization. I always define both camelCase and underscore versions.

I've opened an issue about this on ember-inflector.

What do you plan to call a collection of userPreferences? Here, I'm calling them "manyUserPreferences", but I'd suggest something better :) You can customize the way Ember understands the model names using an Inflector:

Ember.Inflector.inflector.irregular('userPreferences', 'manyUserPreferences');
