Aphrodite is a transcription based on classical Greek pronunciation, while Afrodite is based on modern Greek. And if the locals transcribe it like that, it's a perfectly valid spelling (and maybe even official), not a typo.

Bath (Netherlands)

Bath is a small village and a former municipality in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is now located in the municipality of Reimerswaal, about 10 km southwest of Bergen op Zoom. Bath has a population of about 80.

According to the 19th century historian A.J. van der Aa, the former village of Bath was hit by floods several times in the 16th century: in 1530, 1532, 1536 and 1539. After these floods, only the church tower of the village was left, but it too had disappeared by the 19th century. In 1773, a part of the area was reclaimed from the sea again, and a fort, Fort Bath, was built to protect the ships who collected the toll for passing ships. A small hamlet was built inside the fort; this became the new village of Bath.

Bath was a separate municipality until 1878 (called "Fort Bath" until 1816), when it became a part of the municipality of Rilland-Bath.

Hello,

I entered a bill in the city of Montclar (France).
But there is a problem with the dot/city.

There is 3 cities named Montclar in France:
- Montclar (in Aveyron (12)) zipcode 12550
- Montclar (in Aude (11)) zipcode 11250
- Montclar (in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04)) zipcode 04140

Currently I think the dot is located on Montclar in Aude (12550).
Two other users entered bill here.
But my bill (this one) was entered in Montclar in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence 04140

Thx

Can :flag-be: 5640 Maison-St-Gérard be assigned to :flag-be: 5640 Maison or to :flag-be: 5640 Saint-Gérard?

Or to put it the other way around :

:flag-be: 3670 Meeuwen-Gruitrode should be assigned to :flag-be: 3670 Meeuwen or :flag-be: 3670 Gruitrode (yes I know, impossible :evil: )

Châtel, Haute-Savoie, France (zip 74390) is not in the correct dot
http://fr.eurobilltracker.eu/profile/?city=17572
There is probably many cities called Châtel in France.
Could you correct mine, please ?

My usual reasoning as a plotter is to assume that when some ebtist defines a "city" as Small Place - Larger Place, as is the case here, the note probably was from Small Place, and s/he was just trying to specify exactly which Small Place this is within an universe of several places named the same as Small Place, without realizing that Small Place + Zipcode would most likely be enough to define the exact place.

So I believe we can take an educated guess and assume the location here should be 5640 Maison.
