 * Regrettably that is the case. If there is one case for a desperately needed updating to mathematical notation, this is it. Take this as one who was taught German as a child by a well-meaning but otherwise bletheringly senile teacher who insisted on using pre-WWI textbooks, and equally insisted that I reproduce the appalling black-letter script by hand. Seriously, if someone were to build a bonfire of books filled with this nauseatingly obnoxious script in it, I wouldn't make water over it. --prime mover (talk) 07:03, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
