MW: I agree this is something some people do, but it is not a rule,
and if some people apply it as a rule, then it is a bad one. (03)
MW: Entity (types) are the types of things you wish to hold data
about. These can be as much verb based - actions, as noun based. So
most companies would wish to hold data about the sales they made, for
example. (04)
