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.
