Words do have different meanings in different languages, which is why we provide an input language parameter. "Mich" and "MIT" are English abbreviations for "Michigan" and "Massachusetts Institute of Technology", respectively. Placemaker does not fully understand grammar or word context, so it may generate false positives. If you can provide us with example sentences that cause issues like this, it will help us improve Placemaker.

There are several German words which cause wrong location detections in PlaceMaker. For example:
2347581 - Michigan, US
23511609 - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, US
This problem does even exist if you set the language for the API to "German".
