    Let me further be a grammar Nazi, technically there is no double s in German. It would be the eszett. It looks like a capital b with a little tail.

      Not true at all. Of course we also have a double s (look under Current Usage) in some words. “gewusst” is one of those words.

      All this talk of German and Nazis is starting to make me uncomfortable around here…

      In gewusst there is no ß. The Eszett only gets written if the vowel before it is pronounced long.
