I too am satisfied with just one strike element. I think I would prefer 
STRIKE, though, because I don't mind that it is «difficult/longer» to 
type the strike element. It should not be used often, and it should be 
evident what it means. (Since it is more seldom used, one will not 
remember it so easily if one only see a letter S.) However, I am also 
fine with the S element, for the reason you mention.

Btw, could the issue of the strike/s element could be added to the issue 
tracker as well?
