I'll not beat you over spelling and/or typos, I am fluent in both.

Ooooo, not so hard.

"ß" is a relatively rare case in that there is no capital version.  With instances such as this (if others are found), when there is no upper case equivalent to "ß", and if "ß" is routinely capped as "SS" in the native language, the "ß" character may be used.

That's wrong

When using all-caps, the current spelling rules require the replacement of ß with SS

If no ß is available, ss is used instead. This applies especially to all caps or small caps texts because ß does not have a generally accepted majuscule form.
Die heutigen Rechtschreibregeln schreiben vor, im Versalsatz das „ß“ durch „SS“ zu ersetzen („Weiß“ wird zu „WEISS“).

And when it's SS it stays SS !
Or go ahead and ignore the german orthography

Its about this contr.

"the word "Grosse" doesn't exist in german and makes no sense -> Suchergebnis: 0 Treffer in Duden - Deutsches Universalwörterbuch !" Such bullsh*t (it means the same as Große)

Of course it exists, and every german knows it, thats why its called "GroSSe Film - Klassiker"

"Ken said, "if "ß" is routinely capped as "SS" in the native language, the "ß" character may be used.""

But the SS on the Cover

I am trying to figure out what the point of this post was.  Ken said, "if "ß" is routinely capped as "SS" in the native language, the "ß" character may be used."

Since you seem to be saying that isn't the case in German, his statement doesn't apply...or am I missing something here?

The correct spelling in mixed case is "große".
Same as weiße. (Where we got (for this forum) a very clear decision)

I think he used the word may, because there are also words, e.g. Masse and Maße, which have a different meaning, but in all-caps both would be MASSE.
So here I may use ß to replace SS in mixed case if it is needed for the correct spelling. (And of course because it would be wrong to say replace SS always with ß)

Btw, my personnel opinion how it should be done for DVDP purpose is different because of different reasons, but this is a different story.

Edit: Nimrod as you correctly stated in your vote on this contribution ß will be replaced by SS in all-caps, so the way backwards to mixed case it will be SS -> ß. So I don't understand how this will be the reason for the no vote.  Perhaps I have an understanding problem here.

Nimrod seems to be saying that the correct spelling, in mixed case, is 'grosse' so color me confused.
