How can we just let it go like that, if there are serious, sincere questions?

It's a lost cause, really. He'll probably just deny that he was even aware that it was a double post because it across pages, and then to keep us happy set up an "independent" investigation to look into it.

Just as well we're not using the German alphabet, because what words begin with an eszett?

Kein Problem. ß, esszett" is not part of the alpabet. It's just a contracted form of an s and a z in the middle of a word, so by definition, it cant stand at the start of word. Alphabetically, it would b just s, and no German words except proper names come to my mind that begin with "Sz". Also, ä,ö,ü aren't part of the alphabet, because they are just ae, oe, ue.

Must be a different system, in Russian, ë sounds like "yo".

Too bad you got the letter wrong. Or is the alphabet different there?

Unlikely it won't happen again though.

YKS, however, is Yakutsk, Russia. Similarly pleasant, but in a different way.

Zeeland is supposedly what New Zealand was named after. Go figure.

Aotearoa is what the locals (the proper locals*) call it.

* Although they did only beat the Europeans there by about 350 years.

Crap, the deadline for registering as a financial criminal (for possession of a bank account in evil foreign countries, those being all of them) with the global dictatorship is tomorrow. Last time I have to do this though.
