English isn’t set by a standards body; it’s designed by all of our little choices. And I think English is enhanced by the noble diaeresis, and diminished without it, so I will continue to write reëlect, reëvaluate, and coöperate.
And maybe perhaps the pronunciation of diaeresis would be clearer written diaëresis?
