Is secretly snickering at somebody saying that the eszett is for 'ss', since that's what it's usually transcribed as, because they know that it came from the old-fashioned German script creating a ligature of 'sz', hence the name 'eszett', even though it is almost universally 'ss' today.

Is being a bit of a buzzkill ;)

His powerful succinctness is humbling to those who have no real business being here. I am a bit surprised this has managed to run on this long though!
