Turkish S cedilla
[edit]In Related letters, the Turkish S cedilla is missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.247.248.111 (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- It's mentioned at "S with diacritics". (CC) Tbhotch™ 16:45, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Please remove the long S from the front Quick Fact section, it's misleading, make a section for it!!
[edit]It's misleading to place the long s in the quick section area, it's not used anymore. Imagine you are an alien and you are trying to learn the Latin alphabet, you are going to get the impression that the long s is the widely used lowercase letter. We should talk about it in a section.

- @Restfultree2022: I agree that the long s should not be given equal prominence in the infobox; I have moved it to the "variations" parameter. There is already a section about the long s. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:17, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I think the introduction is not consistent.
[edit]Read along the path, all the introductions except this are written in full form of ordinary number like seventeenth, eighteenth but this is written as 19th. I suggest there should be a minor change from 19th to nineteenth to ensure consistency. 2001:EE0:4BC7:1FE0:3DA6:7723:C1A5:5A75 (talk) 12:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

writing S
[edit]- "S's are tricky"
- The most difficult symbol by far, at least for me, was the letter S (and the numeral 8, which uses the same procedure); in fact I spent three days and nights without sleep, trying to make the S look right, before I got it. At one point I even felt it would be easier to rewrite all my books without using any S's! After the first day of discouraging trials, I showed what I had to my wife, and she said, "Why don't you make it S-shaped?" page 361
