Hi,
It occurred to me that "man_made" is an outdated term that should be
phased out from OpenStreetMap language. The philosophy of OpenStreetMap
is very inclusive and that should be represented even in the way data is
tagged. I'd like to propose to change the key from "man_made" to
"human_made" and start a discussion on it. Many parts of society are
trying to implement a more inclusive language, NASA for instance has
changed "manned missions" to "crewed missions". I think it is an
important goal to make OSM inclusive whenever there is a choice.
Thanks!

"Artificial" is a better word anyway. One word, so we can get rid of that
underscore. It's synonymous with "man-made", gender-neutral, and less Victorian
sounding.
