Being British, the tag feels very ungrammatical for me so I'd like to be able to write and have it treated identically.

    $\begingroup$ We're American. As such, we expect everyone to adapt to doing everything our way, no matter how idiotic it may be. So, instead of your reasonable idea, may I suggestion you instead consider reverting to a system of weights and measures based loosely on King Henry I’s shoe size? Okay fine, +1. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It appears as though a question needs to be tagged maths, and somebody scoring 5+ in that tag, before a synonym can be created. But I agree, that's the way to go. $\endgroup$
