Sharp ß or double ss?

Hi,

The company where I work has a paid parking garage. If customers have trouble using the pay machine, we have free tickets available. These read:

Exit ticket

Please insert the ticket at the exit barrier without going to the ticket machine first!

Isn’t that “outlet” instead of “outlet”?

“Auslass” would be right, because the vowel is being briefly spoken before.

It would be different, for example, in a “Great Card”.

In fact, the correct spelling is “off”. The word ‘emission’ with ‘β’ is outdated and is no longer used in modern German legislation.

And we know you don’t work in Switzerland.

Since the legislative reform in 1996, Austria and Germany have been writing only after long vowels and diphthones “ß”, but otherwise “ss”. How to write correctly today “Exit ticket”.

The machine that prints these tickets in your company seems to have come from the time before 1996.

P.S. There are other linguistic problems. It means grammatically correct “to the cash machineen” and not only since 1996.

Sure. Are you drinking alcohol in masses or in masses?
Here it is recommended: in dimensions.

Swiss write massive drink, or alcohol in mass..

There is no longer in Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

In fact, they would write “mass”. They would probably then write “drink with Mass” and say, instead of “drinking in dimensions”.

Right. Why?

The A is briefly pronounced as the vowels in river, must and nut.

On the other hand, the vowel is pronounced long, it’s bite, sweet, clot.

That people still confuse it is the old spelling in which they changed it. At that time the terms were written with β, instead of with ss.

Only in Germany and Austria. In Switzerland there was and there is no “ß”.

See my comment on Ardyn. I’m aware. But since it was written here with ß and not with ss (it does not concern Switzerland (and also Liechtenstein), my answer is nevertheless universally valid. 😉

Your comment under Ardyn could not be seen without opening because he was directed to Tannibi. Of course, you can call it general.

Of course double-S since the legislative reform in 1996.

Whether with “ss” or with “s”, main thing, you get out of the garage. Much worse is the grammar error in the text.

Yes, since the legislative reform already.
The text might come from before.

Rule: After a short vowel the previous ß becomes ss.
