[Talk-GB] Meta/Facebook #ProfanityCleanup

[Robert Skedgell]

I've noticed a couple of edits from Meta users in Colorado to clean up 
imagined profanity.

In the first case the change from Dyke -> Dike corrected a genuine typo. 
However, we have 410 objects in OS Open Names where the spelling is Dyke 
compared to only 150 Dike. I'm concerned that others may be changed 
without any local knowledge or adequate checking against OS Open Data 
sources.

In the second case, Pussy Lane in Shelley, West Yorkshire was renamed to 
that of an adjacent street without any strong evidence to support that 
change. OS 25 inch maps from 1892-1914 show that Pussy Lane existed 
before Westerley Lane was built.

It's one thing for Zuck's minions to fix real vandalism involving actual 
expletives, but quite another for prudes to inflict alien and culturally 
insensitive values on the UK.
