While we intentionally don't use plurals *often*, we do use them *occasionally* when the thing they're defining is *intrinsically* plural - see `columns` from Multicol or `grid-templates-rows` from Grid. We never *distinguish* between things purely with singular/plural, tho - that's part of why we named the property `grid-template-rows`, so it's more distinct from `grid-row`. But the general rule definitely is that we use the singular form almost all of the time. In particular, all the properties defining 4 things (sides or corners, like border-radius, border, margin, etc) use singular, as do anything that defines 1+ independent things (background, box-shadow, animation, etc). So calling the property `corner` is probably more consistent with our general design principles. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11623#issuecomment-2985668809 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
