How would Billy Batson be able to say “Shazam” without turning into Shazam?
Let’s say Billy Batson wanted to go see the movie in reality and if he asked for a ticket to see it, how would he be able to without turning into Shazam. Or is there a way for him to say it and not turn?

In recent comics, it was explained that, in order to transform, Billy would have to say the word with intent.
It was a retcon from the older comics, where any time the word is spoken, regardless of context, the transformation is triggered.

I know of two ways.
In the forties, Billy whispered SHAZAM so CM Would help him answer his test.
In Kingdom Come, Marvel yelled SHAZAM but held Superman in place so he was struck by the magic lightning.

Billy Batson cannot say Shazam, without turning into Shazam. If he doesn't want to turn into Shazam he must avoid say that word, not even whisper it.
If other people are around, Billy must also avoid saying "Oh, Elders, fleet and strong and wise, appear before my seeking eyes", or else he will have a vision of the elders and people will wonder why he is talking to himself, and think he's crazy.
