A bit offtopic, but: > coïncidence While I get that the diaeresis signifies that the first part of the word isn't one syllable like "coin" but two syllables like "co-in", it seems a little archaic to write it that way. Should one also write "beïng" or "goïng", lest someone pronounce these as one syllable words?
