In British English, they got replaced by hyphens, where you might confused the coop with the co-op.
Either with a hyphen or with no indicator, I think it still reads better than a diaeresis.

The diaeresis to indicate two identical vowels in a pair should be pronounced separately is such an old-fashioned convention that they're pretty much the only publication still doing it.
It still hangs around elsewhere with names like "Zoë" and words like "naïve".

I read a lot of books back when I was at school. It takes so much more effort for me now and I don't know why.

Motability is a great scheme. It could so easily be an engine for getting electric cars out on the road very quickly. Instead, they've made some Reform-mollifying changes that just punish disabled people.

Suddenly you'd have a constant buyer of second-hand vehicles, and people would still be ignorant of why second-hand prices have gone up.

I saw written somewhere that one argument is that Motability cars shouldn't be new, but nearly new (used). Motability cars provide a constant source of well-looked-after, low mileage second-hand cars.

I saw someone yesterday tipping a shelf-display of Pot Noodles into their trolley at Tesco. Presumably a festive pack would be too much for the average Pot Noodle fan.

I've always had wide feet, so I just get size 11 or 12 and let that take care of things. Fuck knows what size I would actually be if I was properly measured for some shoes.
