That’s interesting, Sanderd17. The Irish mile differs from the statute mile as well. Is there any other place closer than Ypres? Maybe it’s a mile to Dikkebus?

In Ireland, there are many places like Ninemilehouse, Twomileborris, but they have something to do with the coach services with horse-drawn coaches, I believe. As far as I know, they were the stops. I haven’t looked into it enough, but I should.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind and try to correct my edits.

Thanks, alexkemp, I’m not the only one doing it, though. And it can give clues to the history, I agree, if the land has been in the family for a while. As long as we make sure to put it in the notes. :-)

Hi SK53,

that is a very good idea about the voice recording, especially when people are doing it who are no natives speakers of Irish (not that I think there are native speakers of any language, because you are usually not able to speak when you are born, but that’s another matter). I will keep it in mind for the future. Is there a way to save these recording snippets in OSM, so Gaelgeoirí could transcribe them?
