Is this really Ass or would As also be correct?
It’s definitely “Ass”. You can find instances for “As” online, but that is not standard spelling and not mentioned as a variant in Duden.
Understood. My only exposure to this word before was in the German title of the film Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy, which is Dame, König, As, Spion. I just assumed As was the standard spelling.
Wow, interesting that they picked this. I wouldn’t have noticed, I’m just going by what Duden says here, which usually lists alternative spellings.
