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?

Postal Service STATE CODES are completely different than state abbreviations.

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.

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.

Do you honestly think that the correct ABBREVIATION of New York, is
NY? Where did you come up with this?
