Historic: STRASZE Now: STRASSE See: <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versal-Eszett> > Logically it's much easier to use STRAßE, because the length doesn't > change and the reverse operation works. STRASSE made lower case is > strasse... The Swiss are more logic (they write "Strasse") but also more prone to confusion: "Ich trinke Alkohol in Massen." -- which might mean "I drink alcohol in moderation" or "I drink alcohol galore". c -- _B A U S T E L L E N_ lesen! --->> <http://www.blacktrash.org/baustellen.html>
