If the single character "ß" represents two "s" characters joined
together, then the uppercase equivalent should also be a single
character which looks like two "S" characters joined together. If it
is not possible to write code which deals with these exceptions, then
one alternative would be to remove these exceptions
remove from where?
from the reality?
If the lowercase character "ß" causes so many problems because it has
no proper equivalent in uppercase then it should be removed from the
list of valid characters. Either that or provide a single uppercase
character - which is what that wikipedia article you quoted says
actually happened this year
jesus christ the german language DID NOT have a uppercase ß in the real
world until recently but had the lowercase ß virtually forever
how do you imagine "removeed from the list of valid characters" in that
case - frankly that paragraph above shows clearly that you should stop
to argue about this topic at all
Just because my opinion differs from yours does not give you the right to
demand that I stop expressing it
surely, in my opinion you don't understand the topic you are talking about
and repeating the same questionable stuff again and again and as you are
allowed to express your opinion i am allowed to express mine
the way you argued about how code consistency don't matter says it all
It is your definition of "consistency" that I object to. Consistency with
what? Code that abandons case insensitivity "just to be consistent" is
consistently bad because it removes the feature called "case insensitivity"
that we humans have become used to since we began to read and write. I have
been working in the computer industry since the early 1970s on a variety of
mainframe, mini- and micro-computers, and a variety of languages. and this
was all case insensitive. It was only the invention of unix which threw a
spanner in the works.
as you call everybody which demands that code all over a poject or company
has to follow a common coding style "OCD sufferers" - but hey, the others
are all ghost drivers and should turn around....
If you wish to enforce case sensitivity in projects which you control then
go ahead. Just don't try to enforce it on everybody else.
