9/ Most importantly we have hundreds of tests. We're always adding more, and welcome your suggestions. There is no shortage of global addressing edge cases.

You can see address-formatting in action in the "formatted" string in our geocoding API results.

10/ We hope you enjoyed this week's #geoeducation thread, a small peek behind the curtain 🪟 at life at a geocoding service.

We have links to many more geothreads about border disputes, exclaves, #geoweirdness of individual countries, reverse geocoding, etc listed on our blog:

11/ Bonus address formatting toot - there have been MANY different schemes to replace or supplement addresses using various codes or word combinations: What3Words, geohashes, H3 codes, MGRS codes, UN/LOCODES, etc. Each with pros and cons.

We return many of these different codes as "annotations" to our geocoding results, see: opencagedata.com/api#annotatio
