    I’m stealing somebody else’s comment…

    it’s a diaeresis for indicating the two es are seperate syllables.

    In other words it’s confirming it’s pronounced re-election and not ree-lection.

      but we already have that, it’s called “re-election”

      these MFs really trying to fuck with the language and think we won’t notice.
