SMS Plazing me incorrectly

Action: I update my Plaze via SMS to a new location, such as "@ 798 Art District in Beijing"

Expected Result: Pattern matching recognizes "in Beijing," but does not turn up search results for "798 Art District," and so creates a new Plaze: "You have been plazed at 798 Art District (Beijing, CN)"

Actual Result: Pattern matching recognizes "in Beijing," but Plazes me at some location entirely unrelated to my input. In this case, "You have been plazed at AT Cafe (Beijing, CN)"

Analysis: I know Plazes must use some fuzzy logic, but I'm quire consternated that the location I input bears no resemblance to the search results.

Recommendation: I believe that Plazes updated via SMS should *err* on the side of creating a new place, rather than placing me at a completely unrelated location, especially since I bridge my Plazes location to a lot of other social services. Meaning, when in doubt, Plazes should report my location verbatim.

Question: Can I force verbatim location update using quotation marks? Is there some other foolproof syntax I can use?

P.S. I find this behavior much more common when traveling in Asian cities that are not as well covered by Plazes (Beijing, Hong Kong), rather than European cities...
