使用する際の注意点

• The usual pronunciation of 'oo' is /uː/ or /ʊ/. The diaeresis in the spelling of coöperate, now archaic outside the pages of The New Yorker, was intended to emphasize that the second o begins a separate syllable.
• The solid form is much more common than the hyphenated form in both British and American corpora. The hyphenated form was formerly more common in British usage, but is now rarely seen.
