Consistency of block names in the Scratch 3.0 GUI
Recently, I was having a look around the current Scratch 3.0 GUI, and realised something strange in the Sound category. The blocks have inconsistent names! Here's what I'm on about:

Yes I agree, “start sound” seems like it could cause less confusion so I don't really think it needs to be changed
