As french guy I can't stop smiling when reading some inaccurate village names on Normandy map. I think this could be easily fixed. I have not found all of them but here are some examples with the accurate name on the right side.
- mispelling :
- Sainte Laurent sur Mer -> Saint Laurent sur Mer
- Bretteville el'orgueilleuse -> Bretteville l'orgueilleuse
- St Mere Eglise -> Ste Mere Eglise
- St Marie du Mont -> Ste Marie du Mont
- Crevecceur en Auge -> Crevecoeur en Auge
- totally wrong name :
- La Vailee -> Aure sur Mer
- Rue Vilaine (which means "bad street" in French) -> Saint Sylvain
in a more general way the word "Saint" seems to trigger a lot of mispelling issues. It should be written this way :
- before a masculine word (like "Laurent", "Michel" or "Sylvain") : "Saint" or "St"
- before a feminine word (like "Marie", "Mere" or "Marguerite") : "Sainte" or "Ste"
So as to avoid me a mouth cramp due to smiling too much, I would appreciate these mispellings to be fixed.
Kind regards from France
