Dunno, maybe an US person would tell if "Utah" would be
preferable to "UT".
I guess it depends if you want non USA people to know the
location. I
appreciate that everyone inside the USA knows all the state
codes, and
knows that if you do not specify a country, of course it is in
the USA.
However, for people not in the USA this knowledge is absent –
though
people in the USA haven't really cottoned on to that yet.
Basically I think D should be a global thing, not a USA-centric
one.
My view point:
- I didn't know what UT meant myself
- I didn't know where the city was anyway
- it seems customary for Americans to see city names with the
State code
- but, being a conference in the US, it is expected more US
people are expected to fill the seats
- "Orem, Utah" might feel dumb to americans, dunno
- "Orem, UT" sounds kind-of cool and looks better than "Orem,
Utah". Subjective I know.
