S (named ess /ˈɛs/, plural esses) is the 19th letter in the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet.
Semitic Šîn ("teeth") represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/ (as in 'ship'). Greek did not have this sound, so the Greek Sigma (Σ) came to represent the voiceless alveolar sibilant /s/. In Etruscan and Latin the /s/ value was maintained, and only in modern languages has the letter been used to represent other sounds.
The minuscule form of 's' was 'ſ', called the long s, up to the fourteenth century or so, and the form 'S' was used then only as uppercase in the same manner that the forms 'G' and 'A' are only uppercase. With the introduction of printing, the modern form 's' began to be used at the end of words by some printers. Later, it was used everywhere in print and eventually spread to manuscript letters as well. For example, "sinfulness" would be rendered as "ſinfulneſſ" in all medieval hands, and later it was "ſinfulneſs" in some blackletter hands and in print. The modern spelling "sinfulness" did not become widespread in print until the beginning of the 19th century, largely to prevent confusion of 'ſ' with the lowercase 'f' in typefaces which had a very short horizontal stroke in their lowercase 'f'. The ligature of 'ſs' (or 'ſz') became the German Eszett, 'ß'.

Plot: Based on the best-selling book by award-winning writer Simon Garfield, four stories from Britain's 'lost decade' (1945 - 1955) are presented from the diaries of four very distinct people. In his book, Garfield selected some of the most expressive diarists, and focused on the post-war years giving a vivid portrait of how Britain coped in the post-war years and how little, or how much, attitudes have changed over the past 60 years.

Plot: Gunnery Sergeant Jim Moore is one of the toughest Drill Instructors on Parris Island. But he's got a thorn in his side: Pvt. Owens, who always seems to foul up when the pressure's on. Convinced that "there's a man underneath that baby powder," Sgt. Moore drives Owens to the point of desertion. Making things worse, Capt. Anderson has given Moore three days to make the scared private into Marine material, "or I'll personally cut the lace off his panties and ship him out!" Adding to the pressure, Moore also juggles a budding romance with a shop girl.

Couldn’t be about now
I see it
In the way you talk about yourself
I gave up
And I drink until my insides all fall out
I’ve killed time
And I wouldn’t want to know
You think you know me
As done back in mid 2003
And I laugh now
I’ve been laughing this whole goddamn time
Someone save me
Someone save me
Please please save me
Someone save me
Someone save me
Dear God someone save me
Someone please save me
Someone save me
Oh please save me
Please someone save me
Someone please save me
Someone save me
Someone save me
I’ve sat in circles
I cannot ….
I’ve seen in mirrors
And I’ve seen everything so close
Something different
But the words I couldn’t bare
The look in your face
Thinking as I said this was the end
Someone save me
Someone save me
Please please save me
Someone save me
Someone save me
Dear God someone save me
Someone please save me
Someone save me
Oh please save me
Please someone save me
Someone please save me
Someone save me
