Re: Eurocentrism, incorrect unit abbreviations, and proprietary Royalist Engish (sic) terms

Naming things is difficult, particularly when trying to both encompass the
definition of the class and be succinct. And that is before you try to
serve an international audience.

I am not sure it is fruitful to attempt to rename types, particularly those
that have been in use for a long time.

A better use of our energy would be to expand the documentation,
particularly demonstrating how to combine various ideas like Offer and
CampingPitch so a user has a clear understanding of how to markup that
there is a campground (in US-parlance) with a particular site available on
2018-07-11 for $20.
