Citat Mats Bengtsson <address@hidden>:- In Accidentals, I wouldn't refer to "Nordic and Germanic languages", since both Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and German use "-iss" and "-ess" (admittedly the same concept, but a different spelling).This is not correct. In Danish we do not use "-ss" at all. That would be a spelling mistake. We only use the "-is" and "-es" endings (except for es and as, ofcourse). I am pretty convinced that the same is true for German.
Sorry about the confusion. Using Google, I found some Danish and German sites that spelled "fiss dur", for example. I should know enough logic torealize that a few such examples do not prove that the correct spelling is not "fis dur". Of course you are right that the correct spelling is -is and -es both
in German and Danish. /Mats
