NY is an acceptable abbreviation for the state of New York.


Uh, no, it isn't. It is two seperate words, dumbass.


Gee, someone better tell the Postal Service! What will they do with all
that mail?


As I said before, you stupid fool, the Postal Service uses NY as a
STATE CODE. It isn't an abbreviation.

Sure. You just keep telling yourself that. Anything to silence the voices
in your head, right?

As a point of order, there is a difference between the postal
abbreviations and what were once called the "official" state abbreviations.

The postal abbreviation for Maryland is MD.
The official state abbreviation is Md.

If I recall, N.Y is the official abbreviation for New York state.

I rarely use state abbreviations in my for-real writing. I find them
inelegant.

So, I'd spell out Florida, not abbreviate it Fla. Or even FL.

You're just listing postal abbreviations, Dennis. There are other valid
state abbreviations. But, then, you're not particularly literate, eh?

Thanks for proving my point, Kevin.
Your link shows that N.Y is the "old style abbreviation".
Try going to the official State of NY website, see which abbreviation is
used there.

And, Kevin missed the 2nd period. After the Y. But he also probably cut
2nd period in school when they taught grammar.

Inelegant, you say? This is a newsgroup, I say! So who cares?

The real point of order is that basskisser tried to slam my use of the
postal abbreviation, "NY", as a spelling error. What a hoot! Meanwhile, he
is using the word "except" when he means "accept"...and then trying to pass
it off as a typo.

I know it's hard watching "one of your own" crash and burn on a regular
basis, but the guy's stupidity is indefensible.
