Re: [Tagging] Future proposal - RFC - amenity=dormitory
In US English we tend to say dorm hall or dorm building, which seems to be consistent with Steve's thoughts. Perhaps a less confusing way to mark this feature would be using the term residence area and residence hall, but I don't know how much of an Americanism these terms are. --- Jesse B.

Re: [Tagging] Future proposal - RFC - amenity=dormitory
Same here in the U.S. Usage of the word dormitory generally applies to a single building, a student residence on or near a college campus. For your situation you might try using a relation to group the buildings as a named dormitory and then for each individual building you could enter its own name, purpose, address, etc. On Sat, Jul 12, 2014 at 6:25 AM, Dudley Ibbett dudleyibb...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi I was going to say that from a UK English perspective I have never seen dormitory used in this way.
