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:

This block says "Start sound Pop", whereas this block:

Says "Play Sound Pop"

This is just a small inconsistency that I would like to point out to the Scratch Team.

Thanks for your time!

This might be intentional to make a more clear difference between them
Play sound until done means that you playing the whole sound
Start sound means your starting the sound playing.

and are NOT clear at all.

Hey! Scratch 3.0 GUI is very cool!

I think it actually makes a lot of sense.

Maybe…

A lot of people (including my old friends) used to do this:

forever
play sound [meow v]
end

whereas,

people are less likely to do this.

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

Ah, that seems reasonable.
