isn't this a "new yorker styleguide" sort of idiosyncrasy?

EDIT: "Languages such as Dutch, Afrikaans, Catalan, French, Galician, and Spanish make regular use of the diaeresis" according to wikipedia.

Only for repeated vowels, which deoörbit is not

Excessive diaeresis is usually caused by a vowel problem.

Explosive diaeresis is the woooorst.

It's a diphthong though. Same as the difference between George (roughly dzo:rdz) and Geörge (roughly dze:ordz).

It’s easy on mobile and less so on my Mac, so I do it more on mobile. I grew up writing British English (and French), in which reorbit and cooperate are a thing, but they get systematically misread in American English, and re-orbit and co-operate look messy.

I’ve also noticed when I add a diaresis my iPhone has less of a tendency to fuck with the word after it’s been typed.
