Just to be clear -  McDonald's (with a possessive apostrophe) is correct 
when used for the infamous burger chain:

http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/websites.html

Yes, I know it shouldn't have, but that's the way they want it


The user also amended drive_through to drive_thru, but has since 
reverted those.

It reminded be to check up on taginfo for 'donuts'. There's over 130 of 
them (excluding names).

Can anyone think of any other crude labelling that should be corrected?

Cheers
