Use *naïveté* in a sentence: It is the height of *naïveté* to claim that one can infer the evolutionary origins of the RmYN02 S1/S2 cleavage site by performing a simple nucleotide alignment as advanced by some proponents of the lab origin hypothesis [1]. 1.

    Me to! Umlaut, also known as diaeresis, i-umlaut or - wait for it - i-mutation, is a mark that consists of two dots ( ̈)placed over a letter, usually a vowel, to indicate a different quality. Only one word I believe in Webster's American English [I know other English out there] that still allows the use of the mark as a variant: *naïveté.* Ironically, the root *naïve* is a French adjective meaning "natural, just born" just like SARS-CoV-2.
