<div>Those are both things that I already tell new mappers. But
they type 's' and think they have made a square building. We
can talk about how that they should notice that nothing changed,
but no one has ever asked me "why doesn't the 's' key work?"
Perhaps they think that the squaring happens behind the scene
and isn't visible? Who knows. Below are some of the results
(blue buildings) from a recent mapathon. </div>

They're not attempting to square the buildings, which indicates a
problem with how they're being instructed. Both iD and JOSM would
have squared some of them with no problems, so switching editors or
other technical solutions won't help here.<br>
<br>
If all of those buildings have square corners in reality, there's a
second problem that some are so crudely drawn that neither iD or
JOSM will come up with a sensible result when attempting to do so.<br>
