'Coordination' in English ;)
- sagichmal 10y agoCoördination is proper English also :)
- jihadjihad 10y agoyeah, I guess the oklog folks have drunk the kool-aid put out by the New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-curse-of-the-diaeresis http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-curse-of-t...
- rspeer 10y agoDiaeresis: a typographical accent used to remind you that you are reading the New Yorker.

- solidsnack9000 10y agoThe diaeresis and the umlaut both are two dots; but are different. The diaeresis indicates hiatus -- a pause between vowels, resulting in two syllables where we might otherwise be inclined to use one. This is the classical (and rare) use of this marker in English.
