In a > more formal setting, I'd have jumped on it too :) Yes, just like the typos in "croissant" and "viénoiserie" from that same email (writen late at night), which John didn't pick on because they're not on the list of classic English mistakes that some people like to pick on. And while we're on language show-off mode, a French person (like me) would never misspell "dessert" for "desert" (except for typos) because in French the pronounciation differs and matches the spelling. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
