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.

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.

What a jackass you are.

The funny thing is the link that BK posted to prove his point, shows that
they are both acceptable. They list N.Y. as the "old style". BK is so
binary, a real borg. ; )

more live than others.

Holy ****, NOYB, I'll say this one more ****ing time, in hopes it
sinks into whatever **** happens to be in place of brain matter in
your stupid head. The postal codes are NOT proper abbreviations. What
did they use prior to this day, 7/01, in, I think, 1963? Did they not
have abbreviations before then? If you were capable of a little
research, you'd find out just why the postal service decided to make
up POSTAL CODES, as opposed to using the abbreviations.
