    I was flabbergasted when I found out you can spell German B (can't type it without installing additional keyboard) as just "SS". My teacher didn't like that. I wonder why 🤔

    In Switzerland (where German is used as language), the ß is not used, so everything is "ss".

    And in case you don't feel like watching that: It's a meme harkening back to the stupidity displayed on a well known tumblr post, one of the many displays of which was somebody insisting 2 was odd.

    Also see this Ace Attorney version, which is hilarious and the first place I'd heard of it:
