in reply to a message by Anne
Hi Anne,
Interesting. It's been over a decade since I've been to Germany and I really don't keep up with spelling reforms (plus my German is VERY rusty and gets only occasional reading use). But plain old "ss" seems so...plain somehow. Pity.
Heck, I even miss Fraktur. Still quite a bit of it around when I lived for a time in Germany, altho it was pretty much outmoded even then.
- Da.

Hi Daividh,
not every ß is delated. There are some ß left. It always depends on how long the consonant (a,e,i,o,u) before the ß ist spoken.
