Funny, but ss and ß are not equivalent, e.g., "Busse" != "Buße".

- beefhash 12y agoDepends, actually. In Switzerland, you do write "Buße" as "Busse", despite the different pronounciation indicated with ß. The German written in Switzerland just doesn't know the ß character and uses "ss". Nonetheless, you're right if you're just looking at German as written and used in Germany (And maybe Austria? Not sure how they handle ß there).

- rowyourboat 12y agoYahoo Answers is correct for Switzerland, wrong for Germany and Austria, and wrong for historical uses of ß.
