I think the expanded name is not friendly for foreigners. For example, assume you are in Japan, and your navigation app shows "Turn left at '杉小学校前'". After a few minutes you will see a guide sign '杉小前'. Maybe you would wonder you should turn here or not. So I think `name` should be 'labeled

English mappers have argued for "St" as different to "Saint", see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29 https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/19609/saint-or-st-is-there-an-official-osm-policy I don't know how North Americans feel about "St." vs. "Saint" but

Re: [Tagging] Names containing abbreviations that are the official name

Unless the word is "St." for Saint in English where there is no evidence that the full spelling is ever, ever used. And including the word "Township" in the name may also be considered "tagging for the renderer". This place sounds like it is a "township" by virtue of some act of incorporation

[Tagging] Names containing abbreviations that are the official name

I know abbreviated names are frowned upon in OSM, but what about places like towns where the abbreviation is part of the official name? For example, Mt. Lebanon Township in Allegheny County, PA (near Pittsburgh). It is officially, in all government documents, named "Mt. Lebanon" (though the postal
