Depends on what street you're talking about. I've certainly lived in places where the vast majority of the locals called it "Whatever Ave", and not "Whatever Avenue". Most of the US...wouldn't talk about the street at all.
But you wouldn't be confused if an stranger came in asking how to get to "Whatever Avenue"? If not, then there's no problem with the expansion. Presumably, a US-centric renderer would abbreviate names for display, while spoken directions would be no more confusing than this stranger.
