Who's sick idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

So the people that have a speech impediment would not be offended being labeled as such, lisp is just a normal word in their vocabulary - lol.\n\nIt is sad though that it adds insult to injury.

It sends a note to the yahoo geek nazi's that there's someone who don't know how to spell.\n\n\nHey! Ms. 4.0 why do you need to spell check?

Are you sure it isn't profit makers?  The "s" on the end seems like it should be plural.

After reading the Wikipaedia article, it certainly sounds as if some genius had a brainstorm when designing it.\nStay cool.....Be Happy.

I'm sorry I'm replying without answering the question, but please, PLEASE, PLEASEEE never never NEVER put an unnecessary apostrophe in the posessive form of "its." I can see maybe leaving out a necessary apostrophe if you're too lazy, but adding one just demonstrates ignorance, because technically it takes more time to do so. Please don't, for the more sensitive among us. Open a grammar book. It's a tragedy the subject's not taught these days.

Do you realize how completely annoying it is when people TyPe LiKe ThIs???  And words like beginnners, stockings, skirts answers all end in S, not Z!  Please, just because this is the internet doesn't mean we need to completely abandon basic grammar, spelling and formatting rules.\n\nThank you.

Well- for a start- i may be worng here but i think its actually spelt phonetics.  But maybe there are two ways of spelling it- which proves your theory even more.  it must be the same person who thought up the word dyslexic.  Could they not think of a harder word for people who can not spell!

Someone with a lisp usually has a problem with the position of their tongue within their mouth in relation to their front teeth and the roof of their mouth. When most people who speak normally pronounce the "T" sound, they seal off the air in their mouth (usually by pressing their tongue against the front teeth or the roof of the mouth just above the front teeth) to make one sharp abrupt sound. People with a lisp are unable to make that air "seal," making it much more difficult to get the abrupt sound. This may be because they learned it incorrectly as a child or because of dental/glossal (fancy word for anything to do with the tongue) deformity.

That's just like "dissin" people were trying to change it for a couple of years after Eric Sermon said dissin and it came out "dishin" because he has a lisp. I've heard both too referring to the same thing; bag & bad.

what's wrong with I<M or Y!A?\n\nthere's a lot of that going round!

There is no reason, it is just an idiosyncrasy of the language.  If memory serves, this is called a plural tantum (sp?), a strange type of noun which is always addressed in the plural, yet has no singular. Scissors, shorts and clothes are other examples of this bizzare phenomeneon.   Regards :)

Never considered that - quite insightful...\n\nBut I would bet that it does account for quite the number of misspellings...\n\nKind of disturbing.\n\n-dh
