Why does Yahoo and other sites list the Indiana town of West Lafayette as "West Lafayette Bra" recently?

Question

I have noticed that many sites now list the town as "West Lafayette Bra" when using the local zip codes for shipping and maps.

Answer 1

I just saw that on Yahoo Maps. It's not on MapQuest though. My guess is that some error corrupted a database entry for West Lafayette and those programmes that refer to that database are merely symptoms of that problem.

I suppose the best thing is to contact Yahoo and alert them to this problem. I would be happy to chime in as well since I happen to work in West Lafayette myself. :-)
