Interesting. I've watched a fair amount of British media coverage about
the horrific human trafficking a couple of weeks back and noticed the
repeated use of lorry. In this Sky News segment they say vehicle
(comprising of tractor and container) and lorry, but they aren't saying
truck once.

Lorry has largely fallen out of use, truck is the more used word in British

Given that OSM language is British it probably should be "lorry" not
"truck".

I have found a shop that sells Volvo and Volkswagen commercial vehicles
(large trucks). Looking in the wiki, it suggested the tag shop=car
should/could also be used for this, but I find it puzzling. How would
someone looking at the map understand, that this shop=car,
brand=Volkswagen;Volvo is only selling trucks? Wouldn't it make more
sense to tag these with a different tag. e.g. shop=truck?
