[postgis-devel] Documentation

I think it’s clear the Americans won this race or the British/Colonial/Canadians wanted badly to lose.  

The Americans managed to get neighbor in there 147 times while the British/Colonial/Canadians trailed behind with an embarrassing 13 neighbours.

 

Do we really need to wait for Paul on this?  He’s on the beach probably slurping one of those exotic drinks.  He is in no condition to have an opinion on the matter.

Have you cleared this with Paul?

Plus the PostGIS doc uses "neighbor" 147 times, and the "u" version only 13 times (and I think all of those can be replaced).

Depends if you are American or British/colonial!

 

The Postgres documentation uses the spelling "neighbor", so I suggest that is the pattern to follow.

Is it the correct behaviour to say Nearest-Neighbour or is it better behavior to say Nearest-Neighbor?
