Wow…. after following the back and forth on this thread I'm really starting to understand the argument for numeric tagging schemes
sport=305 (american football) sport=246 (association football, football, soccer, calcio, etc…) sport=220 (rugby) Is anyone going to get insulted that the tag for football/soccer/whatever is 246? No, because it's not a word. Yes, this is less intuitive for us native english speakers, but there is no room for ambiguity. I'm not suggestion we should switch everything to numeric values (would never happen anyway). However, this argument that non-native english speakers have been making for a while is making more and more sense to me.
