Start Sound [] --> Play Sound []
In Scratch 2.0 and older versions, the
My suggestion is to rename the Start Sound block to its previous name to teem consistency and for historical reasons. What do you think?
start sound [ v] :: soundblock was named “play sound”. Also, its counterpart,
play sound [ v] until donehas always been named that way. Why though?

Sorry, no support. Scratch is a programming language that should be easy for beginners.
The “play sound” block can make people think that it finishes working when the sound is over. Plus, the name is very similar to the “play sound until done” block, which again leads to confusion. For example, I started using Scratch when it was still 2.0 and I always mixed those two blocks. Now it's obvious that the first one just starts the sound, and the second one plays it until done. I understand that some people can't get used to some of the new blocks, but over time everything changes and we need to try and accept the changes.
Thanks for your suggestion, have a nice day.

No support, it explains more about the block when it says “start”, because it's showing that it will start the sound, but it never said it would play the whole sound. The “play until done” block is called play until done because it plays the sound, and stops when it's done.

No support, I don't really think it would help too much. Plus, I don't see anybody who's actually confused by this.

play sound [ v]and
play sound [ v] until doneboth have “play sound” at the beginning, so that would cause confusion, according to you.

No support, the block “start sound” describes accurately what it does, and the block “play sound until done” also explains very well what it does. They don't have to match, because they have different uses. With this logic, all blocks should be renamed to “block”, because it's true, and it would make them all more consistent.

But in Scratch 2.0, it was named “Play Sound”. If every block were named “Block', then nobody would know what anything does anymore. However, if we renamed ”Start Sound“ to ”Play Sound", a lot of scratchers would see the difference, making it not confusing.

The way the block is currently is not confusing at all, it explains exactly what it does. It starts a sound, it doesn't play the sound.

Sorry, no support. Personally, I find the ‘start sound’ block easier to use, because the name describes what the block does: start playing the sound.
