Great point! JKR has the house as 12 Grimmauld Place, so I went to
wikipedie to look at street naming policies and found that any type
of culs-de-sac can be named: Close, Court, Place, Cove....BUT the
following are named by the shape: Circle, Crescent, Square, Loop.
So while one can be the same or compare to the other, the vice versa
may not be true.
So there, I'm sticking to my idea of the semi-circle...only reason
why I think this, is because any image of London in my mind comes
from Oliver! the musical....and please, no comments on this.... :)
