From article <549@ssp11.idca.tds.philips.nl>, by dolf@idca.tds.PHILIPS.nl (Dolf Grunbauer): > -The Chicago Manual of Style says that ij should be capitalized as IJ > -(for example: IJsland). How well is this adhered to by the Dutch? > Completly, this is the way we do it. The funny thing is that the Germans > do it wrong when they talk about our city IJmuiden or lake IJsselmeer, > as they write: Ijmuiden and Ijsselmeer. The "Duden" (German standard book of orthography) writes "IJsselmeer" but also allows a Germanized form "Ijsselmeer". The reason may be that most Germans do not know about this ligature.
