why are there also german words with 'ss' though?
can't think of one right now, but I'm sure there are a few
Fluss
after short vowel: ss (e.g. Gasse)
after long vowel or diphthong: ß (e.g. Straße)
Ñ ist besser uezs
heißes teil
...
sheiße
üzs
why did Germans adopt a strange B for double s? it doesn't make any sense
Scheißfaden uezs
oh no, not those fucking nazis again
ß=ss=ShutzStafel
reminder that the worst death camps are in Pooland
ſ + s = ſs = ß
Italian used it as well once.

Eat aß

Ñ

Isso, zê
stop your hopeless banter otherwise I will take away your Prince Polo
return danzig
how could we return it to ourselves?
could ss (schutzstaffel) be shortened with ß?
No. ss is not the same as ß. In Switzerland they always use ss instead of ß though
i thought ß was being phased out and replaced with ss
are there any examples of when ß can not be exchanged with ss?
ß can never be replaced with ss in normal german. There are words with ß and words with ss. Only the swiss replaced the ß with ss. For example they say "Strasse" instead of "Straße". You can't do that in normal german
So for example
>Scheiße
is always correct and
>Scheisse
is always incorrect as long as we are inside Germany?
I always thought they were interchangeable.
>ß was being phased out and replaced with ss
They actually made it a proper letter as in
But it's stupid af and overly-complicated, also considering the fact that it creates confusion with words that used to have a different orthography, Rußland and Elsaß are primary examples of that.
Fuck orthographic reforms 2bh.
>I always thought they were interchangeable.
They were before they decided to fuck the system up in 1996.
Yes. They are not interchangeable unless you can't use ß to write it for whatever reason. So when there's no ß on your keyboard you can use ss instead even though that's technically wrong.

Bullshit. The just changed some rules when to use "ss" and when to use "ß". They were always clearly distinct, but with the 1996 reform, they made the distinction more useful.
