Reminder About the Diaresis
rogersgeorge on March 16th, 2020
Since I ran into someone doing it correctly, I thought I’d remind you about the diaresis, those two dots that look like an umlaut above a letter in English.
Only a few words retain the diaresis now, but naïve is one of them. It means you pronounce the two vowels separately, not together. “Naïve” is really a two-syllable word!
To get those dots over a letter i, hold down the Alt key while you type 139 on the numeric keypad.
