Ok
Divergent views.
I’ll leave the name tag alone, but add the brand tag where missing for
ALDI (all caps is more ‘popular’ according to taginfo – world wide
search and Australia only search), Woolworths, Coles and IGA. Don’t
think there can be any objections to that?
As for 'what we say' .. well going to 'the footy' does not mean the oval
has that name... talk leaves lots of detail out except when talking to
tourists who probably don't know the local 'features'. Any map would
have to assume a lack of local knowledge too.
