I dunno. I think the common practice of offer a "corrected" name but allow them to override with the entered one is pretty fair. Typically I just see it adding the last 4 of a zipcode but I mean one could mispell an address as well as addresses for a permitted structure should be enumeratable.

But as someone with one of those rural addresses I can say that most of the time you're not able to override it.
- pests 3y agoI forget where but I was once trapped in software hell where it would autocorrect my address to a correct-looking address but actually was a different structure on the property. You had to submit the corrected version. Phone support couldn't help and just redirected me back online. It was a mess.
