    In many dictionaries there doesn't seem to be a difference between those two words (if they express that something unexpected happens), but my English teacher told me that coincidence is rather used than accident However, Vin Diesel used it and that's why I was still uncertain, mostly about when to use accident and when coincidence
  • Origin of the phrase Now were cooking with
    The original is "Now You're Cooking With Gas", supposedly part of an ad campaign from the era when gas stoves first started replacing wood stoves for cooking in the home The Wikitionary entry cooking with gas offers some insight, but I couldn't locate a specific ad campaign, or any other corroborating materials This article suggests that this would have been early in the 1900s
  • formality - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
    An alternative wording of the sentence could be We are dealing with a case of a negative externality of consumption, which results in oversupply and greater consumption of diesel than is socially optimal The other sentence is grammatical as it is, but I would agree with Jesper's suggestion to change "revolution in how" to "revolution in the way"

    @TRiG — From what I can see looking at various online sources, "dieresis" "umlaut" can refer to the linguistic phenomena, as well as the diacritic mark used in its particular context "Trema" refers to the diacritic mark used in either context So either is accurate, so long as you don't refer to the dots in an umlaut as a "dieresis" or vice versa
