This doesn't save keystrokes, though, does it? Can a 
user get ♯ with a single key? I think english.ly is 
still finest, the only possible improvement would be 
to find a single key for the "ss" and one for "ff". 
I think "x" could be satisfactorily incorprated as a
alternative substitute for "ss", but I don't think
there's a suitable ASCII character to capture "ff".
By the way, if both english.ly and deutsch.ly 
incorporated the utf-8 idea, German would win the
minimal-size contest thanks to the b/h quirk of that
language.
