So you wanna introduce ß into English?

Spaß bei Scherz, this reform changed one rule in German orthography so that it is slightly more phonetic (it's still considered non-phonetic) and it still caused a constitutional challenge.

I like the change, but even today, 30 years later, you can find people who have not changed their spelling habits.

If we reform English at this pace, sound changes will outrace us.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
