It's come to my attention that the genre/topical term "Plat maps" has
been deleted and now instead, we are to use "Cadastral maps."

Walk up to one of your patrons and ask them what a cadastral map is.
Then, after they stutter and stammer a wrong answer, ask them what a
plat map is. I love the word cadastral but I don't think it's a word
used by users.

This is an example of a sad decision.

Am I wrong about any of this?
