:Um, well, sure. But I thought the problem with the term "city" was precisely that to many people is has strong associations with a particular municipal status or with a large population center, whereas this policy is intended to apply to a wide range of populated places. Either way makes little difference to me, but I thought town might be better because it was less restrictive than city.

::I know this is beating a dead horse now, but I really think it's the other way around because forms and the like invariably ask for "city, state, zip". I have never seen a form ask for "town, state zip". Or when you call 411, it says "what city please?" or "what city and state please?"[[User:Nohat|Nohat]] 05:23, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
