What convention requires that tables have singular names? I always thought it was plural names.
A user is added to the Users table.
This site agrees:

This site disagrees (but I disagree with it):

As others have mentioned: these are just guidelines. Pick a convention that works for you and your company/project and stick with it. Switching between singular and plural or sometimes abbreviating words and sometimes not is much more aggravating.
