Well, they are that too.I mean the ß/œ/æ type, though.
(No pun intended).

Thosearen't ligatures - ligatures are the extra bits that connect (eg) double letters. What you've got there would be diphthongs.
Tomorrow: the difference between a hyphen and an en dash.

Oh?en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_%28typography%29
Guess that article could do with some editing (and the HTML entities spec).

Itall gets a bit confusing when digital typography comes into it, because old-skool hot metal/letterpress terms get slightly mutated. F'rexample, to all intents and purposes, "kerning" is now used interchangeably with "tracking" by most design professionals I know even though they're two very different things.

It's a few years ago for me but...Surely a diphthong would be two vowel phones right next to each other - i.e. in speech, which is not the same as a written digraph representing a single vowel sound, like in paedophile. So ß, œ and æ are presumably just digraphs that got intimate over many years?

dictionary.com is an American siteso will have American English spellings. For the best bet, use something like Cambridge as that gives the English spellings as well as the US variations.

depends what country you're in.if you're in England then yeah, it needs in A. If you're in the united states of simplification, leave the A out. Things just get too complicated with it in.

Yeah'cos that's the sort of market you really want to be targeting.
I've always wondered about all the paedo pr0n spam in usenet. I know that if I was churning out that sort of thing I wouldn't be too keen to tell the world at large about it.
