Most definitely correct. People in western internet love to name their 
software with 's' ending.   Apart from it being easier to pronounce, 
ending a word with 's' helps prevent saliva being ejected from 
speaker's mouth into the face of listener. For example, ending a word 
with 'p' results in much saliva being ejected. Saliva spray can spread 
disease.
