Hi,

Don't if it's easy for you to fix this but the correct spelling for
this very nice french city is Marseille and not Marseilles as seen on
your locations list.

cheers

Hey Sylvain,

Actually, Marseilles is the English spelling. If you change your
language settings at the top right of the page in Building Maker to
French, then you will see it spelled Marseille.

Thanks for the reply Jorvan,

very strange english spelling indeed. Don't know why this "s" happened
at the end of the name. Languages issues are sometimes very strange...
By the way, I noticed that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Marseille">Marseille</a> spelling is also available in english.

I also noticed that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyon">Lyon</
a> is spelled without "s" just like in french since english spelling
used to be Lyons...

French people are a bit nuts about word spelling, so don't pay
attention to all this. It's just like an OCD ;-)

Sylvain
