" You're right BUT thats an English approximation - to write "proper"
" German requires the use of both the Umlaut characters and the "double s"
" (A litiguture or something like that), I guess I should look it up, but
" I'm geting lazy.
But under spelling reform invoked last year
the double-s as you call it is no longer to
be used.
Quite a controversy and some publishers, notably
a few newspapers are abandoning the new rules.
