Is accommodations US English? Genuine question -- it looks odd to me but I am British.

@richardlau I did not realize that was a peculiarity of US English, but yes, apparently it is. I've never seen it without the s at the end. Checked online in a few (non-authoritative but reliable enough) sources and it is indeed a US English tendency to add the s no matter what while the rest of the world doesn't do that.

Perhaps we can change it to lodging and it won't seem odd to anyone? :-D

I'm fine with keeping it as the docs should be written in American English. Only now I'm staring at transportation and wondering if that should end in s 😆.
