What is the difference between scope type website and websites?

Constants defined under : /vendor/magento/module-store/Model/ScopeInterface.php

I know Magento 2 have store, group, website, stores, groups and websites scope types. But my question is when Magento use singular form and when it uses plural form.

Under core_config_data table sometimes it saves under website or sometime websites scope. How it decide this ?

For example :

Hi @sudhanshu_bajaj,

We should use websites for consistency.

Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface:COPE_WEBSITES

The module (dotmailer) is using website only.

You can check in core_config_data table as well.

Select * FROM core_config_data where scope = 'websites';

You have raised a good question.

I hope it will help you and others as well.
