Thanks for this, Paul. It will be interesting to see change over time, should you choose to run this again each quarter or year. Some inconsistencies are well earned. Tim Hortons, and some other chains have changed their names since we started mapping them.[1] [2] If you map from survey, you might still find old signage with the earlier version of the name. That doesn't mean that we should slavishly replicate Ye Olde Spellings, but might be of interest to some.
