I forgot to bring this up today on the call, but I'm a little concerned
about the naming of collections for a person.

The three I'm concerned about are:

"phones" versus "phone_numbers"
"emails" versus "email_addresses"
"addresses" versus "postal_addresses"

I much prefer the ones on the right for clarity. Conversationally we
always talk about "phone numbers", not "phones", which things you use to
talk on. "Emails" could be a collection of mailings sent to or from a
person when we really mean "email addresses." "Addresses" is less
ambiguous, but I'd probably differentiate it from "email addresses" just
for consistency.

Schema.org uses "Postal Address", "Email", and "Telephone", but don't ever
seem to use them in the plural. The plurals are more problematic than the
singular forms in my mind though.

Thoughts?
