"Usage:
In French, Greek, and Dutch, and in English borrowings from them, [a diaeresis] is often [used] to indicate that the second of a pair of vowels is to be pronounced as a separate vowel rather than being treated as silent or as part of a diphthong, as in the word naïve or the names Chloë and Zoë."
- Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) entry on the Diaeresis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis#Similar_looks.2C_different_functions)
[shrinks away from gaping Tallulah maw!]
Of course, one might interpret the employment of the word "often" to indicate that a diaeresis isn't always necessary under those circumstances. Personally, though, I think it's more likely meant to imply that there are other, rarer uses for the device.
Oh, yeah, here:
"The diaeresis is also occasionally used on native English words for the above purposes (as in "coöperate", "reënact", and the surname "Brontë"), but this usage has become very rare since the 1940s. The New Yorker, The Economist and MIT's Technology Review can be noted as some of the few publications that spell "coöperate" with a diaeresis."
Anyway. Um.
I protect my grammar with my life? That is so lame.

I'd a' just not included the ones not true, rather than bold font or not.
I think you're charming. Some of those italicized entries could be worked on; let's just beam you over here to South Carolina, and we can get to work on the combat weapons and topless dancing - this here's the birthplace of the Confederate States of America. and a great area for both! They's some good ol' girls (http://www.2asisters.org/) out here, could teach you both of 'em the same day...
