There are words where the difference is actually significant, e.g. "Masse" (=mass) vs "Maße" (=dimensions)
It's also not a ligature for sz ("Amtszeit"), although it has developed from one (of the long s and the tailed z, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F )
I like that the information loss in toUpperCase() is gone now in this case, so I am all for it O:)
- ygra 9y agoAmtszeit is a bad example, though, as German never uses ligatures for letter sequences spanning syllables. And I think there are no examples of sz appearing within a syllable.
