Also, long-s was never used at the beginning or end of words. The short-s was in use far earlier than you claim. | |

| Jan 6, 2016 at 15:03 | comment | added | Benjamin Harman | A character that's come into English relatively recently is "s." Even through World War I, the letter s was written the same as the letter f and appeared like a letter f without the cross, like an upside down J. Much like c has two sounds, so did the upside down J. It wasn't until after the war that s and f separated and took on their present appearance in English.. | |
