My family was stranded for a while during a transfer at Frankfurt airport,
while a computer system refused to accept that ‘Glasgow’ was not a
destination. ( At least, in that instance)
Having said that, the same error is much more commonly made by taxi drivers,

i had this same problem a few weeks ago...luckily it wasn't critical to the

Have pondered the question, and come up with some code which may or may not
solve the problem at hand, but which may at least prove helpful in looking for
a real solution:

That sounds remarkably like two women who are friends of my parents:
One is called "Gay" and the other one is called "Loveday". They were
friends at school 60 years ago
and when they were both widowed they moved in together; although the son
of one of them fell out
with his wife and now lives
Thankfully, in my case, I do know what at least the state is:)

There is a town in Texas called West, made infamous a few years ago by a
giant explosion. I don't think you can make assumptions about names of places.
Mark's suggestion to check for words ending in "s" will fail on many towns,
though apostrophe-s may be safe.

Wow, this is awesome, thank you all!!
Sorry, on the road taking my daughter to college, would love to try some of
this out.
One thing to keep in mind is that as that I’m checking for names against the
town list, I may not know what town I’m actually looking for. Usually i do, but
not always.

I can see that the "problem", which my stack does not address, is with 2

The Rochester/Chester problem is easily dealt with.
While it should be realtively easy to have a subroutine to deal with
words such as "West" (after all, there are no places just called "West"),

Very interesting Steve, your use case is actually very close to what I’m trying

think prioritised ’tag cloud’ metadata.
