title: Java boolean getters "is" vs "are"
body: <p>I know that the convention in Java for boolean getters is include the prefix "is". </p>
  
  <pre><code>isEnabled
  isStoreOpen
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But what if the subject is plural? That is, what if instead of wanting to know if a store is open, I wanted to know if all the stores are open?</p>
  
  <p><code>isStoresOpen()</code> doesn't make sense in English.</p>
  
  <p>I'm tempted to write getters like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>areStoresOpen
  areDogsCute
  areCatsFuzzy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I think that would make sense, but I've been told by others that I should just suck it up and abandon subject verb agreement and use <code>isStoresOpen</code>, <code>isDogsCute</code>, <code>isCatsFuzzy</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Anyway, what should I do for boolean getters which operate on a plural subject? </p>
