I like the fishmonger word better, but I understand seafood is an easier word for non-native english speakers.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I am not sure it really is easier for non-natives. Are you a native? I am not, but back in school we learned the word fishmonger (because we studied British English of course). My guess is that most people who learn English as an additional language will be taught British English. It is them who have the older Empire ;-)<br>

A look at Wikipedia[1] shows that. Seafood is problematic because of the "sea" in the word and because it can mean a restaurant with seafood. I don't understand why we would choose an inferior word, but whatever.<br>
<br></div><div>Anyway, I think the future of OSM tagging is in editors like iD that translate tags into native languages, and that's why I think tag names aren't as important as their unambiguous wiki pages.<br><br>
