Auto Tagging

Another not so great example of Flickr's totally unwanted (and incorrect) retrospective tagging of my images....and probably yours too.

 

The grey (gray - more of which later) ones are mine and the white ones have been added by Flickr.

 

This photo is not

 

a. anything to do with racing

b. it is NOT a car

c. yes its a vehicle so has a rim and a tire - but who cares

d. in merrie olde England we spell it "tyre" and would NEVER use the phrase "auto racing"

e. this photo has nothing whatsoever to do with sport

 

Lots of the feedback in the forum relates to the difference between the American and the British spellings eg they use Railroad and we say Railway. They use Gray and we use Grey.

 

One of my photos of a Honda Gold Wing has now been tagged "motor scooter" LOL

 

..and one of Manchester United's Stadium, Old Trafford, has been tagged as a "ballpark".

 

Flickr have totally lost the plot.

 

If you don't like the new system (and lets face it, who would?) please feel free to bleat about it here:-

Lack of bleating will no doubt lead to similar **** being foisted upon us in the future.
