I am opposed to this suggestion, because there are two countries called "United States" in North America: the United States of America, and the United States of Mexico.
Yes, when people say "United States" they typically mean America and not Mexico, but the USA is just as often referred to as "America" as it is "United States," which is another reason not to proceed with the change. -jack -- Typos courtesy of fancy auto spell technology On August 16, 2018 12:51:27 PM EDT, "Daniel Koć" <dan...@xn--ko-wla.pl> wrote: >Hi, > >I wanted to let you know about proposed change in tagging the name of >USA and I seek for the feedback about it - see the proposition here: > >https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=63384 ><https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.openstreetmap.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fid%3D63384&v=3> > > ><https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.openstreetmap.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fid%3D63384&v=3> > >-- >"My method is uncertain/ It's a mess but it's working" [F.
