Faſcinating! (backſ-away-ſlowly)

  Should be "backs" because long-s isn't used if it's the end of the word.

    > Before a hyphen at the end of the line a long ſ must always be used, for example Shaftſ-bury.
    • yorwba 7y ago
      The hyphen is not at the end of the line. Shaftſ- bury is just Shaftſbury with a hyphenated line break.
    • seszett 7y ago
      That's when hyphenating a word, not between different words linked by hyphens.
      • OJFord 7y ago
        That's exactly what a hyphenated word is.
        • monadgonad 7y ago
          No. "Hyphenating a word" here means when a whole word is split by a hyphen to continue on the next line of a justified column of text. In that case only, a long s is used before the hyphen.

  The example of "Paradise loft" written as "Paradife loft" reminds me of the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten's logo looks like Aftenpoften https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftenposten https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftenposten

    The Philadelphia Inquirer recently updated their blackletter logo in part I think because I looked more like a J. https://www.garciamedia.com/blog/its-a-refreshed-logo-for-the-philadelphia-inquirer/ https://www.garciamedia.com/blog/its-a-refreshed-logo-for-th...

  This is ſuch a ſilly diſcusſion
  • jcranmer 7y ago
    Shouldn't it be "diſcuſsion"? The ß character derives from ſs, after all.

      This whole topic is a ſlippery ſlope
