Actually, you're wrong, Dick. The postal regulations and so on do not
recognize three letter abbreviations any longer. The times have
changed. English is a fluid tongue and the *pronunciation* dictionary
should know what it's supposed to do. Get with the program guys!
It's 2005, not 1955!! If the BN is pronouncing ILL. as illinois, then
perhaps it could be changed in the next upgrade, if you can't change
it in the *pronunciation* dictionary!
