Clarity! The abbreviations are just that, they mean the full word, and are
spoken that way, but written and displayed as the abbreviation. I also
disagree I have never know anyone that said "whatever A V E" they do not
spell it out, they say the word the abbreviation stands for. Same for St,
Dr ect.
What are you disagreeing with? I've known streets that were called
"Whatever Ave" (Rhymes with "Whatever Have"). Not "Whatever Avenue".
And certainly not "Whatever A V E".
Ave is a bad example, since it is common to say 'Ave' rather than
'Avenue'. But I can't think of any other suffixes that are commonly
abbreviated in speech. Maybe Cir?
