Rant. S words This is just a rant. Who decided that words should start with an s and a consonant? Why would anyone make words like that? Why in the world would anyone make words like stop, snow, scratch, screw, step, start, store, scare, skin, smile, smell, straight, stand, scar, screwdriver, skate, speck, Steve, Stephanie, Scott, Smith, Stuart (my middle name), etc.? Why?
