Usage notes

Preëmpt is an older, mostly obsolete spelling. The use of diaeresis in preëmpt (as well as coördinate, etc.) to indicate the syllable break used to be common; it was taught in U.S. schools into the 1950s. It is retained only by a few individuals and publications, most notably The New Yorker.
