<div dir="ltr">When I think of a stationery shop, I think of something like a FedEx Office minus the copiers and shipping. When I think of an office supply store, I think of something like Office Depot, Office Max or Staples, which also sell office furniture, computers, adding machines, filing cabinets, etc.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 7:01 PM, Matthijs Melissen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:info@matthijsmelissen.nl" target="_blank">info@matthijsmelissen.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear all,<br />

We have currently two tags with a closely related, if not identical,<br />
meaning: shop=stationery (8038 instances) and shop=office_supplies<br />
(177 instances).<br />
<br />
Is there a difference between these two tags, or should we deprecate<br />
shop=office_supplies in favour of shop=stationery?<br />
<br />
For example, Staples, a large multinational stationery/office supplies<br />
shop is tagged 380 times as shop=stationery and 48 times as<br />
shop=office_supplies.<br />
