Because it went Shell, then like C Shell, then like Korn Shell, then like Bourne Again Shell, and then there's like TCL shell.

The 'sh' goes at the end. Shhhhhhhhh.

But there is "sh" at the end of "shellfish"!

That makes it Shell Friendly Interactive Shell which is redundant. Then there would be Shell Korn Shell, and Shell C shell. The 'sh' for Shell goes at the end as like a grammatical marker. It's postfix. Sh-FI-sh is awkward because it's prefix of the Shell -> 'sh' and also includes the 'sh' for Shell at the end making it a Shell X Shell sort of thing.

OK, I see the logic. How about "She Shell C Shells on the C Shore"?

[smoldesu]

there's also an 'sh' at the end of 'fish', which is why that's the name of the shell.
