Where did you go to school, if you don't mind me asking? I didn't realize that was ever something that was taught -- I'm curious if it's a geographic thing?

The only place I've ever seen the diaeresis used like that is in the New Yorker.

Ontario, Canada, in the '90s. We weren't required to use it but there was a brief lesson on co-operate, cooperate, coöperate, etc. being valid variants. Maybe Mr. B. aspired to have students who would one day read The New Yorker.
