Hey is the german "B Looking " symbol (es-set or something--my german teacher was not good at all) that substitutes the double s...is that gone or what? I heard they were phasing it out...and by they i mean the gov't.......? whats up here....i liked the es-set personally.
no way ...
we love our special characters, especially the s-z
greetings from berlin
benno
after a short vowel, like in dass, you use -ss
after a long vowel, like in Gruß, you use -ß
Louis
oh cool stuff!!!! thanks
there used to be another symbol for the ess-et... it looked a lot like 2 lightning bolts... it was phased out and the "B" looking character was introduced after WWII... if you know history, you can guess why...
if not, Alfie can explain it, I'm sure it's in his pamphlet...
the esset is different than 2 'S's... as already noted...
