Wann heißt es “Nutznießer”, “Nießnutzer” und wann “Genuß”? Takkat, this doesn't belong here. Suggest you start a new thread in Meta. The Q on MSO that you link collected 130 net upvotes but this opposing comment collected 169 upvotes total. I wouldn't have posted the lmgtfy link here but (1) you're not a newbie whose feelings might get hurt and (2) your reply to my first comment was argumentative and pigheaded. You mean well and have the good of GLU at heart and you have done much to develop it. Sometimes success takes longer to arrive… |

Wann heißt es “Nutznießer”, “Nießnutzer” und wann “Genuß”? I vote for close. Takkat, you could easily have answered all your questions yourself by the simple expedient of a web search. This would have shown that Nießbrauch is a legal term with a clearly defined scope and that Nießnutzer is a seldom-used synonym (and best avoided) for either Nießbraucher or Nutznießer. Relax, Takkat. Questions will come or they won't. Pump-priming won't make a difference ;) |

Two quotes (without quotation marks) in *one* sentence, introduced by two colons? Regarding your question in parentheses: I believe that when you have a complete sentence, the fullstop/period (.) goes inside the quote marks. If, however, the quotation is being incorporated only as a snippet into a sentence that you write, the fullstop stays on the outside. Sorry, no time to look for an online reference. By the way, if I remember right, that is also what the Chicago Manual of Style recommends for English writing. |

Is “Sie brauchen nicht das Geld” a correct sentence The SE software gave me this Answer to review for deletion as a "Low Quality Post". I clicked "Looks Good To Me", not that I necessarily think it's a good Answer... but deleting it is insane overkill. This, by the way, is why I quit English.SE: some moron flicked a finger and had my Answer deleted. Then he behaved like a total POS when questioned about it plus the staff backed him up. |

Is “Sie brauchen nicht das Geld” a correct sentence What do you find weird about it? What were you expecting? In its present form, this Question looks like a candidate for closing to me. |

Can a “ß” be written as “ss” Downvote retracted. I disagree about the reason you gave for why it is common to use SS instead of ẞ. The hindrances to ẞ becoming more widespread are: (1) lack of ẞ on current keyboards; (2) lack of ẞ glyph in many fonts; (3) lack of stencils in signpainting shops; (4) in-house rules; (5) inertia. The non-committal attitude of the Orthography Council is not a hindrance. However, this is a matter of opinion and does not merit my maintaining the downvote. |

Can a “ß” be written as “ss” You wrongly claimed that there is no capital ß. Kindly accept my correction that ẞ (<-- capital ß in Arial) does exist. Read past the lead of the Wiki article to find that ẞ is solidly part of Unicode. And that the managing director of the German Orthography Council has no objections to people using ẞ, but is waiting for usage to become more widespread before the Council officially acknowledges this in their rules. ẞ also has a long (if contentious) tradition in German typography. Finally I don't care how many downvotes this answer of mine (which references the selfsame Wiki article) gets. |
