My first thought was "maybe we should back up and emphasize that resources are nouns before going further", but if you scroll up you'll see that this was actually the original question asked (how do I avoid naming them with verbs?).
I quote it, because it resonates with a lot of people. Especially those who abhor the factoryfactories. Why are the nouns undisputed when it comes to REST? It might map to the web, but does it map well to computing?
