	Diaeresis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a diaeresis or dieresis (AE) (from Greek διαιρεῖν (diaerein), to divide) is the modification of a syllable by distinctly pronouncing one of its vowels.
		The diaeresis is also occasionally used on native English words for the above purposes (as in "coöperate", "reënact", and the surname "Brontë"), but this usage has become very rare since the 1940s.
		Diaeresis was used in the early Cyrillic alphabet which was used to write Old Church Slavonic.

	Jonathon Delacour: Diacritical
		A similar mark is used to indicate diaeresis in other languages, but the umlaut dots are very close to the letter’s body in a well-designed font, while the diaeresis dots are a bit further above—in computer screen fonts the difference is usually not noticeable, but in printed material it is.
		In the Seymour Hersh article, the diaeresis is used not only in the word “reëlection,” but also in “preëmptive,” “coördinate,” and “coöperation.” Interestingly, “cooperating”—as in “Most have been cooperating in the war on terrorism”—appears without a diaeresis, which suggests either an editorial error or that the diaeresis is not used in a present participle.
		The New Yorker's lone stand in favour of the diaeresis is one of the reasons I am fond of it.

		The diaeresis is also occasionally used on English words for the above purposes (as "coöperate" "reënact" and the surname "Brontë") but usage has become very rare since the The New Yorker magazine is noted as one of few sources that still spells "coöperate" with diaeresis.
		The similar diacritic mark is used for different purpose in German : in this language it marks a in the pronunciation of vowels known as umlaut.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		The diaeresis over a vowel indicates that the vowel is to be pronounced separately.
		Usually, though, the diaeresis is used on the second of two adjacent vowels to indicate that the second one is pronounced separately.

	MemeFirst: BlogWars, Day 2: The Attack of the Diaeresis
		As any of New York magazine's copy chiefs could have told her had she bothered to ask, the answer is that it's not an umlaut at all, it's a diaeresis.
