Co ördinated

I found it funny that, in a recent issue of the New Yorker, they used the
word "coördinated", with the umlaut on the second letter "o", several times.

The first two usages were in an article on Karl May, who wrote fiction
about the American West. I thought this was some kind of editorial joke
until I found the word again in an article on Camus.
