On this side of the pond, many words lose their diacritical marks
after lots of usage. "Cooperate" has previously been hyphenated
(co-operate) or spelled with a diaeresis over the second 'o'.
They are now lost. So we can thank teletypes for that?
or laziness? could be.

Anyway, "Role" looks good to me.
