  Schifffahrt is spelled with tripple-f since 1996.

    Not the Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft though, as it’s referring to a company which was established prior to 1996.

    Do you mean until 1996? Looked it up on Duden.de and there it’s only “Schiffahrt” with the mention you wrote it “Schifffahrt” in the past.

      No, since. In 1996 it went from being spelled with with double-f to triple-f. Since 2004 you can also write “Schiff-Fahrt”.

      But triple-f is the correct spelling to this day.

        Oh nice, duden itself isn’t consistent with it’s content. Searching “Schiffahrt” gets me the result that the triple f is the old way of writing it: www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Schiffahrt

        But I don’t understand your last sentence. If both are correct than both are the right way. It’s just like “größer wie xy” is correct for a couple of years. Maybe it doesn’t sound nice, but it’s correct.
