A diaeresis (also spelled “dieresis”) is a diacritical mark in the form of two dots, like an umlaut, placed over a vowel to indicate that it is pronounced as a separate syllable.

Thanks Miss Norris for all your tips, I'm not a native english speaker so your videos are always a blessing from heaven for me

Diaeresis is also used in some names: Zoë is the canonical example.

I think HTML banished diereses from written English along with the second space following a period.

I was wondering how the New Yorker spells reïnvigerate, with one, two, or three dots above the i?

Do you know the name of the pencil sharpener, please?

Enjoy your videos very much -- to the point and addressing some of the more pressing issues in composition today.  And uses a pencil instead of all this "composing at the keyboard" crap!  My kind of writer!
(And the careful writer can still find the diaeresis in any pull-down menu in Word under Insert)

Would you use the diaeresis on the 'i' in words like: doing, being, etc.?
