“user accounts” or “users account”?

I keep asking myself which form is the most correct when listing items on a website:

  • "Article list"
  • or "Articles list"?

Also, when nothing was found, do you say:

  • "No items were found"
  • or "No item was found"
  • or more simply "No item(s?) found?

    FYI in English "plural" means "any number not 1", so 0 is plural.

    @nohat: Remember, kids, this is one of the grammar rules we don't think about too hard so that we don't wind up stapling things to our foreheads and worshipping Cthulhu.
