I guess you have never tried to find a tag description on the wiki then.
You will just have to imagine having open 3 very long pages of approved / 
proposed / abandoned proposals and searching  for something which just 
approximates a particular type of "amenity" - let's assume its the workplace 
of an osteopath, and reading all the tags trying to decide whether this has 
its own tag already, or if it belongs with some other similar ones - say 
"physical therapists" or "allied health".

Now imagine reading the Italian wiki pages or the German wiki pages, whichever 
you can manage least, and consider the difficulties of finding a tag out of 
hundreds when its not your own language.
