Hi berestovskyy,

I'm getting a lot of false positives in the US for rule "#170 'Lowercase street name' (merged #93, #94)" since v0.9.5.

Permalink: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... 89&env=usa

The false positives come in the form of "25th St" or "A St" and the likes. I appreciate you looking into it.

Another false positive type in the form of "W U pass St" here: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=7&lat ... ts=7067915

Thanks,
James

Hi berestovskyy,

Thanks for the fast fix!

On a side note, is there any chance you can allow street names (in the US) that start with "de", "de la", "del", "el" and "la" to not trigger the #170 rule? There are a number of streets in San Diego that start with those and they are 'correct'.

Examples:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... ts=7077112
https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... ts=7013094

Many thanks!

Sorry for starting such a heated off topic debate here.

pumrum, I understand where you're coming from. And now to think about it, yes it is better to standardize this way than to modify the validator to fix such a small number of cases.

dbraughlr, my examples were poor. I should have fixed those to conform with the official spelling instead of using them as examples.

Thanks again to this wonderful script where many of us have felt like a hole in our heart when it's not available for using. Thank you for spending your quality time to make us this great feature and may your work continue to inspire us to be a better editing community

Thanks for maintaining this highly useful WME addon. It's appreciated, and this is a highly useful tool used by many.

That said, this recent flurry of messages here is a prime example of why hardwiring an arbitrary "expire" date into such an important and widely used tool is a bad thing, regardless of what the "motivation" behind it is. If you happen to not be able to get around to doing an update (especially if it's for no other purpose than to update the "expire" date) by the deadline, then a lot of people get inconvenienced for no reason. It isn't broken - it just refuses to work because the date has passed.

Just sayin'....

It's a tool berestovskyy created. If it's a mean to help motivate him, why not? It's one of those perfect script that we've been using daily and taking for granted sometimes, so I'm satisfied if an update comes quick or slow or maybe never
