I've heard "county aitch double-you why four twenty-three" from in-car
navigation. I've also seen TIGER errors such as "Cord" (one word) for
County Road, or Logging Road for LR (a Legislative Route system that
existed in Pennsylvania until 1987). (The latter is of course an
improper expansion; we need to be careful when expanding.)
