Yeah, makes me want to forbid the use of Fraktur by anybody who is not
certified to be able to read a Rechtschreibduden (which contains the
rules unless they have given up in the mean time). I cannot count the
times I got annoyed at seeing what amounts to the equivalent of
Gas-thaus or even Gas-ts-tube. Or His-toris-che Weins-tube. One case
where unfortunately someone who does not know history is not bound to
repeat it.
