That doesn't really make sense, people use the American spelling because this is the tag suggested by editors or because it is the tag supported by data consumers, not because they think it's necessarily the best tag, I'm quite sure that most people who voted for 'jewellery' use 'jewelry' when mapping. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
