Ok.

By the way Ruby has "start_with?" and "end_with?". So the thing we can discuss, if we go this way are:

	1) with an "s" after the verb or not?
	2) should we use "start" or "begin"?
	3) with an underscore, nothing or camelCase
My preference is:
1) with an "s"
2) "start"
3) underscore
so that gives: starts_with() and ends_with()

Thanks, Christian.
