Fabian GiesenHOT TAKE: In German, "Beelzebub" should really be written with a New Yorker diaresis.
Philip Trettner@rygorous I wasn't familiar with the New Yorker version so I thought you meant "ü". That would make it match better the average age of the Lord of the Flies cast.
@artificialmind Beëlzebub. The New Yorker is somewhat infamous in the US for using diaresis to mark split points on double vowels, so for example, they write coöperation (since it's co-operation not coop-eration) and reëlection (since it's re-election not reel-ection)
@artificialmind it's not that this practice is unheard of in general, but it's somewhat archaic and the New Yorker, infamously, still has it in their style guide to this day
Jonathan👣🚲@rygorous @artificialmind Pretending it’s still New Amsterdam. Such a dieresis is standard Dutch.
LR@rygorous @artificialmind in saxony we also call it coöperation
