Its a complicated case with rules, which due to the most recently introduced rules of spelling haven't become any easier. But recently the idea seems to be that when a double "ss" follows a deep/long wovel, it is written "ß". Like in Spaß (fun). Anyway, I believe it has some merit for you US guys to finally understand what that funny "ß", which you so often see in -"straße" really means. Before I learned German I always thought that was some kind of "B"... Thank you for the tutorial. ;~) ted
