    Ok, let's stay in the same page then. :)<br>
    Regarding schools, I don't know what you mean, because here, schools
    dont have fountains, just taps and those of the bubbler type (maybe
    old century schools have fountains in their yards or something
    similar).<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Bubbler appears to be a name I'm unfamiliar with for a drinking fountain.  One</div><div>of these <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bubbler.jpg">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bubbler.jpg</a>  It's not ornamental or</div><div> decorative.  It's a drinking fountain, not a fountain.</div><div><br></div><div>This old drinking fountain is harder to classify:</div><div> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fountain_Snow_Hill_Samuel_Gurney..jpg">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fountain_Snow_Hill_Samuel_Gurney..jpg</a><br></div><div>Technically just a drinking fountain but it is rather decorative.  Is it</div><div>amenity=water or amenity=fountain + drinking_water=yes?<br></div><div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
    This was assumed from my side since the beginning. What spurred me
    to start this thread was that the element "fountain" in Portuguese
    iD was translated as "decoration fountain" and the wiki seemed to
    support that distinction. <br></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>But that's pretty much how British English sees it: fountains are primarily</div><div>ornamental/decorative.  They may incidentally provide drinking water or they</div><div>may not.  Remember that what you call a bubbler is what we call a drinking</div><div>fountain.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">-- <br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Paul</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
