I don't remember my high school German enough to remember if the ß

that have multiple valid spellings in uppercase, but only one in
lowercase.
If the latter is true for German, perhaps GROSSE and GROßE are
valid uppercase, but only grosse for lowercase.
No, that's not the case.
Only große is valid lowercase, but many people got so used to computers
not dealing with ß correctly that they'd type grosse automatically.
Conversely, since there is no official capital form of ß (see my reply
to Steven), GROSSE is standard uppercase although you might encounter
GROßE occasionally.
