Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have an "s" in it?

It's more of a descriptive word. Many words to do with speech are like that. e.g. try saying "whisper" loudly. Say the same word softly and you'll get the idea. By the way, the Spanish for whisper is susurar, which is exactly what we do.
The same goes for stutter and scream.

Whose cruel idea was it to convince you to post this question?
a) it shows you cannot be asked to read other questions as you would have noticed that this gets posted about once a week
b) it shows you are an offensive ignorant who thinks it is funny when people lisp.
Better be thought a fool than to post on Yahoo answers and remove all doubt...
