I can't do the sharp-S character on this terminal. I had the impression
that the character is now being dropped in favour of the 'ss' form since
the recent reforms?
I think I'm going to start using Strasssenbauobjekte in English, since
we don't have a word for it (English doesn't so much borrow words from
other languages, it chases them down alleys and mugs them for the
words!) <g>.
