When i run DBMetal, sometimes i get weird column recasing. for
example:
CCPurchaseLimit becomes CcpUrchaseLimit.
instead of renaming, can't we just preserve the casing?

DbMetal uses a culture information to add casing when there is none.
Since it is an algorithm that tries to extract words from a dictionary, it sometimes has problems doing this, especially when there are codes (like the CC in your example) in column names.
The parameter /culture allows to change the language (are currently supported "en" which is the default, but also "fr" and "de"). If you want to disable the language, try the invariant culture, with /language=IVL

If i disable the language, will it preserve casing?

And how will that affect pluralization?

It just won't pluralize/singularize.

so it would be cool to be able to turn the casing stuff of and still
have the pluralization working.

This doesn't make sense: to pluralize a word you need to have a language (pluralization rules differ from one language to another).

Yeah, that's what i'm asking. It seems to me, these two features need
to be separated. I would love to have pluralization, i just don't want
dbmetal to hork up my casing.

Pluralization works only on well-understood (by DbMetal) words, just like capitalization. Chances are that if capitalization doesn't work, pluralization won't either.

I'd still like to be able to turn one off and one on, especially given
the fact that pluralization is important on table names (where the
words are likely to make sense) and not columns (where the words may
make no sense at all).
