Right. I've been working with other languages' regex whose default are more closely aligned with raw regex definition. I really should remember that matches only matches the full string though, I've debugged that exact thing multiple times now...

You could use find() instead of matches() though. Since we're only checking case on a single character, I'm not convinced that case_insensitive is inherently better in this case. Probably all the same after compilation. | |

If you're going to suggest using RegEx, use a better RegEx expression: Pattern.compile("s$", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE). That regex says "contains s followed by the end of the string, case insensitively." (Depending on how good the JVM regex engine is, that regex may even reach near-optimal speed.)
