> Coördinated Universal Time The o-umlaut doesn't occur in English, and "Nate Hopper" sounds like an English name.

  It's a diaeresis symbol rather than an umlaut, used (infrequently) to show that it's pronounced co-or rather than coor. Quite archaic, unless you're the New York Times, who use it as part of their house style, but not wrong!

    I think you're thinking of The New Yorker, not the New York Times.

      Yes, you're right - I'm not from the US, but I think it's the classic example...
