Just to be clear - McDonald's (with a possessive apostrophe) is correct
when used for the infamous burger chain:

Yes, I know it shouldn't have, but that's the way they want it
What do you mean? The fictional character is Ronald McDonald, and it's his
joint, so possessive is appropriate, no?
I very carefully created a fast food preset that I use daily, looking at
signs and websites to determine exact spelling and punctuation of the
names, only to now find out that JOSM silently ignores single quotes in
preset values (i.e. name="McDonald's" tags name=McDonalds) :(. I've updated
the wiki page to document the unusual escaping methodology (' must be
represented by '') and "fixed" my presets. At some point, I will probably
entertain a bulk data fix, but I'll be sure to talk about it first.
The user also amended drive_through to drive_thru, but has since reverted
those.
Is drive_through=yes the accepted tag now? When I started, I couldn't find
one, so I emulated the access=* style and used motorcar=yes on any
amenity=fast_food|restaurant that has a drive-through. I tag motorcar=no on
amenity=fast_food that specifically doesn't have it, but do not tag
anything on amenity=restaurant (since most of what I consider restaurants
would need to be tagged "no"). Should these be changed?
It reminded be to check up on taginfo for 'donuts'. There's over 130 of
them (excluding names).
I'm surprised that's all. As you point out, it is acceptable enough that it
is often used in names.
Can anyone think of any other crude labelling that should be corrected?
Now that's funny. Last time I looked at TW, I was exhausted before I got to
about ak*.
