I was sitting in a coffeeshop drinking a latte and reading the New Yorker (add 'Latte-sipping' to church burning, ebola tossing, etc) and for some reason the umlaut they put over the second 'o' in 'cooperate' really seemed obnoxious.
Of course, excessive sensitivity to diacritical marks probably strikes some people as obnoxious too. I'm willing to forgive most abnormal language usages.
Except those cretins who use ` as the left quote mark. That should be a hanging offense.
