What's that one? Around here, COSI (formerly an acronym, still all-caps) is a science museum. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSI_Columbus> We do, however, have several locations of the restaurant Così. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cos%C3%AC_%28restaurant%29> That's a word, not an acronym. I don't know why, but it seems it's rather often written COSI. Just like how a lot of stores get a phantom 's' added on the end, or sometimes removed: Meijers, Krogers, Aldi's, Walgreen. I've seen these incorrect names in the OSM data, too. We should get the word out to new users: "Make sure you know the correct name of a place when you add it to OSM." (Or, is misspelled data better than no data?) Maybe this just annoys me because I can't understand how people get these things wrong in the first place... -- David "Smith" a.k.a. Vid the Kid a.k.a.
