@Adamant36, I’m pretty sure one of the first things any half-decent CoC would do is stop repeated hostile accusations like “You don’t know jack”. Unsubscribing because I can do without...

I think this is a wider issue with abbreviations generally. The same is true with US states, so "Monticello, NY" isn't recognised but "Monticello, New York" is.

> Raising small children and spare-time open source contributions are not very compatible. I know that feeling :) But yes, definitely up for this.

Essentially the only sane way to render river/canal polygons at low zoom levels is to skeletonise them, and that's not something tilemaker can yet do[^1]. I usually drop in Natural...
