[OSM-newbies] Conversational gambit: New to OSM?

[James Ewen]

One of the tricky parts of tagging is having to translate from the
British terms to local terms.

Pitch in these parts is what you do with a baseball, or find running
out of a wound in a tree. In the OSM world it's a sports field.

Because my heritage is English and Scottish, many terms are somewhat
familiar, but for those who don't have that background, or are using
English as a second language, it can be pretty daunting trying to
figure out what tag matches what you are looking to tag.
