"sells" is a verb (the action of doing something), while "sales" is a noun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun British & World English "The exchange of a commodity for money; the action of selling something" https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/sale North American English "The exchange of

shop=car, car_repair, car_parts is a good example, if you compare it with http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dmotorcycle see taginfo for combinations : https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/motorcycle%3Arepair#combinations You're more flexible to tag shops that offer different services

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - shop subtags

Hi all, as of the current discussion about different clothes shops, I proposed subtags for any type of shop : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/shop_subtags IMHO most shops will offer *sales,rental,parts,repair,* and different *type*s of the items they sell. Please comment.

I don't only refer to clothes shops, but to shops in general : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/shop_subtags I don't think it's useful to discuss every single shop type from scratch if there's a couple of tags which MIGHT apply to most of the shops. We'll then see if they will

How would you then avoid "multivalues" ? For example for brand=* https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:brand If a shop sells several brands (Honda;Yamaha;Suzuki;BMW;KTM), how would you tag this ? In the clothes example, we could certainly split the characteristics up in clothes:for=men/women/

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - shop subtags

Yes, I think that shops in general are obsolete. Plastic parts are made at home by 3d printer, repair isn't done as Amazon doesn't offer it and if I need a drill hammer it doesn't help to RENT it in the next doityouself shop when I didn't learn any craft anyway as everyone just got a PC job nowaday

Shop assistants// SELL shoes over a SALES counter. They do not "sales shoes over a a sales counter". It is English .. and has peculiarities. For the OSM tagging .. use sells not sales, sells makes 'English' sense in that context. On 04-Sep-17 02:46 AM, Thilo Haug wrote: Why don't they call

Re: [Tagging] Clothes subtags (was "Tagging Digest, Vol 96, Issue 3" and before that "shop=fashion")

I think before we can agree on this particular subtagging scenario we must resolve whether to use "sells" or "sales" as the action verb. I'm all in favor of using some sort of hierarchical structure to fine-tune the shop tag as Thilo suggests but as you can see from Taginfo, the confusion exists al
