Suggestion Country Names

tyee · 02-02-2016, 01:15 PM

I'm a new member and an expat from Seattle, WA living in Costa Rica (for 20 years now). The form for adding details to a member's profile offers "Costarica" which, of course, is incorrect. It's not a programming impossibility to have a members country spelled correctly. It's not because the name, Costa Rica, would be too long because you have New Zealand and other two name countries done properly. I own a web development company so I understand some things aren't important enough to get perfect but I think this is worth the 5 minutes it would take to fix it. Many thanks in advance. Have a good one.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've gone ahead and corrected all misspelled country names, which wasn't quite as trivial as it sounds, but certainly doable.

Members who has previously selected a country with a misspelled name will need to update their profile here.
