    Some on this list may be interested in an extremely confused article
    in the Guardian on the recent encoding of the capital sharp s (at
    least I think that is what it is about, the journalist does not seem
    to have any idea what she is writing about herself, demonstrating once
    again the total inability of most newspaper journalists to do the most
    basic fact-checking or background research):

    'More than just a pumped up B': Germany celebrates recognition of the letter ß

    <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/27/germany>

    and what is perhaps the source for the above article:

    <http://www.young-germany.de/657.html?&no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=1669&cHash=a19c1cd279 

    Read and Weep,

    Andrew
