8/ Another point of confusion is placenames that everyone knows and uses, but that have no official basis.
For example, tell anyone in London π¬π§ to meet you for dinner in Chinatown, and they know exactly where you mean. But it is not an "official" placename in any sense. But that's a topic for another thread
9/ All of this weirdness is the βsalt in the soupβ (as we say in German) that makes geo interesting, though at times it can also make it very difficult for a geocoder to give the answer people expect (rather than the technically correct answer).
What's your favorite example?
