Or is that a Nord v Sud thing? My German teacher was a douche, so he may have taught us all wrong about vowels and pronunciations.
You're correct, that was my typo. Scheiße is the correct spelling.
And to get the ß, you type Alt+0223
Ää Ëë Öö Üü
Those Alt codes are: 0196, 0228, 0203, 0235, 0214, 0246, 0220, 0252
Very helpful for the American on a PC without a German keyboard. Or you can be lazy and through an e after the vowel to simulate the umlaut, and just use a double-s instead of ß, which is really the direction they are going in Germany anyway. Even my German keyboards don't have the ß.
