[Tagging] Spelling: vending=news_papers

I was fixing some stuff with http://keepright.at/ when I found an error 
showing a wrong spelling vending=newspapers and the right tag was 
vending=news_papers. Which confused me, because I was pretty sure that's 
the spelling I learned in English class and google also confirmed that.
Checking with taginfo and the German wiki that's actually what it states 
and what is used, the spelling was only corrected in the English Wiki. 
(Most of the nodes are in Germany)

So what now? "News papers" just seems completely wrong. I guess a mass 
edit is not really possible in OSM.

Also how does keepright do this? Is there a preset list or algorithm 
checking for similar tags with low usage?
