Re: [Talk-GB] Incorrect spelling of "cemetery"

Re: [Talk-GB] Incorrect spelling of "cemetery"
If the sign on the gate says "Cemetary" then it might be correct to follow this (incorrect) spelling for the name=* tag but it is still a cemetery and that is what should go in the amenity tag... //colin On 2016-03-24 13:24, Chris Hill wrote: > I found 54 cemeteries with their names spelt cemetary in the GB extract from > last night.

Re: [Talk-GB] Incorrect spelling of "cemetery"
Unfortunately there are quite a few spelling mistakes in the keys. I investigated the shops keys recently and found among others: toolhire, gereral, keycutting, manacure, bppkmaker, car stufff, convienience, etc. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Incorrect spelling of "cemetery"
I found 54 cemeteries with their names spelt cemetary in the GB extract from last night. I'm not going to run a bot to change any of them - what if that's what the sign on the gate actually says?

Re: [Talk-GB] Incorrect spelling of "cemetery"
Plenty of misspellings outside of the UK but within the Anglosphere, as
Nominatim will show. You could be fixing them for some time.

I added a bunch of notes for misspelt cemeteries a while back (mainly
trying to provide an "in" for new local mappers) so if anyone does pick
this up please check for local notes too - and also for other variations
such as "cemetry" etc. :)
There are occasionally "valid odd spellings" ("Kilbourne Road", which
goes to "Kilburn", comes to mind) but other than in made-up business
names, I can't think of a valid misspelling of a regular English noun.

[Talk-GB] Incorrect spelling of "cemetery"
Hi all, A user of our site alerted me to an incorrect spelling of “cemetery” in one location. I corrected it, and then readily found and corrected three more. However, after a very brief further search (using “cemetery uk”) I’ve easily found another 10. I could correct these manually, but I suspect that it is the tip of an iceberg. Can I propose that someone who is more knowledgeable than me does a mechanical edit within the UK to correct “Cemetary” to “Cemetery”?
