Fill in the blanks: Go to the sto_e.?

You might think the answer should be "store" but linguists have yet to prove this missing link. Obviously it couldn't be stole or stoke, because that wouldn't be grammatically correct. It could easily be that it's supposed to mean "sto e" though, and we just don't know the proper divine vocabulary. After all, the sacred text "Some Dude's Guide to Grammar" says that "sto e" actually refers to a type of boat and thus is grammatically correct. While the apparent meaning is lost on some close minded skeptics, I know in my heart what it means. Storists should be open to the debate. After all, there was a time when the best minds in the world thought it was flat. What makes them so sure they are right this time?
