Where do I put Pluralization rules in asp.net mvc3

I want to add specialized Pluralization rules to my project as I have names in my database like FAS and other things that end with "s" and I want those to be FAS and FASs but the default pluralization wants to make it FASes or something similar which I dont want. I am then trying to use this guide http://blogs.msdn.com/b/efdesign/archive/2008/12/02/pluralization.aspx but I have a hard time figuring out where to put this code? How do I make sure this code is run at startup of my project (I suppose it has to run at startup?)

So where do I put this code? 

PluralizationService pluralizationService =  
    PluralizationService.CreateService( 
        new CultureInfo("en-US"));

ICustomPluralizationMapping mapping =  
  pluralizationService as ICustomPluralizationMapping;

if (mapping != null) // it shouldn't be but just checking 
{ 
    //Specifying the child pluralizes as children 
    mapping.Add("FAS", "FASs"); 
}

When do you need to get the names of the entities pluralized?

I may be way wrong, but it seems to me that you could simply add the tables to the model and just rename them in the designer.

Am I overlooking some information?

The answer is in the tutorial: you have to use it with the schema generator to create the schema using the pluralization service:

EntityModelSchemaGenerator generator = 
    new EntityModelSchemaGenerator( 
        storageModel,   
        "MyNamespace", 
        "MyContainer",  
        pluralizationService);

//Generate CSDL and MSL (in memory) 
generator.GenerateMetadata();
