Wait block

Please make the wait block say


Wait (1) seconds

Not


Wait (1) secs

If you say secs, it sounds like s()x and you don't want children saying secs to their parents!!!

Re: Wait block

I don't see a problems. "Secs" is a common abbreviation of "seconds". Plus, sex isn't a bad word anyway...

Re: Wait block

I've had this problem before.   tongue   But people usually can figure out what you mean based on context.

I know. wait (whatever) secs is good, and couldn't you say each letter seperately of secs, like "s", "e", "c", "s"??

Re: Wait block

I always say 'seconds' when I read 'secs'. So I don't think it's that much of a problem.

Re: Wait block

I guess it's just one of those things you've got to train your mind to think of as "Seconds", despite the fact that it says "Secs."

I think you can go into the source code (Shift clicking the loop in the R in the Scratch logo in the software) and change that, if it really bugs you.  tongue

+1

Secs is a very common abbreviation for seconds. I dont think this suggestion has merit.
