If a shop sells mostly only games, it's a shop selling games.
For the second list, at least some replacements seem incorrect: > Candidates for deprecating: > health - medical_supply? Probably different, first one could be a unlicenced selling products with (un)claimed health, performance, sleep or other benefits and whatever, nothing medical about them. > interior_decoration - houseware? Houseware seems to refer to "usable" equipment, but I'd assume interior decoration is anything from curtains and pictures to flower vases and pillows, possibly with some cabinets and storage boxes in the mix. > sewing - maybe tailor? I've seen a sewing supply shop, yarn, tools and some textiles and stuffing material, or the like. They won't sew anything for you, like a tailor does. > shopping_centre - mall? The wikipedia page lists regional differences and I'm no native, so the words themselves may not refer exactly to these attributes, but the way I read it a year or several ago there is a difference, even if many might use the words interchangeably. They're almost similar, but some professionals and others make the distinction that in a mall the distinct shops are within a single (enclosed) area, but in a shopping centre the shops have their main entrances from the outside. In the other, you (almost always) first enter the mall, then the shops; in the other, you (can) enter the shops directly; or in a mall you go around with what you bought and then return to your car, but in a shopping center you're more likely to take your bags to the car between visits to different shops. It might be that discussing what the two words really mean would never end, but the difference in concepts exists. > souvenir - gift? Although somewhat similar, I wouldn't got to souvenir shop to buy gifts for my relatives, they only sell stuff that gives tourists a cliché memory of the attraction, city or country. As a tourist, I wouldn't go to a mainstream gift shop business (as WP calls them) to buy a t-shirt with the name of the city I was visiting; they probably wouldn't have such. -- alv _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
