There are even cases where it is context-depedent: Maße (measurements) and Masse (mass). Both are written MASSE uppercased, but how do you know which one's which?

For additional fun: Swiss German doesn't use ß at all, so there is no difference between "in Maßen genießen" (to enjoy in moderation) and "in Massen genießen" (to enjoy in large amounts).
