there's a neighborhood in Rotterdam, NY where the signs for the side streets along the main drag (Hamburg Street) are spelled out (e.g., Fourth Street) but the signs interior to the neighborhood are abbreviated (e.g., 4th Street.)
Along these lines, at least part of San Jose, CA, spells out even-numbered streets but abbreviates odd-numbered ones. Maybe that helps folks who learned their numbers but not their numerals? :-)
In Cincinnati, I include the abbreviated form in `name` and the spelled-out form in `alt_name`. (Where street signs spell out the ordinals, I guess I'd swap the two tags.) I used to always spell out the ordinals, for consistency with the "no abbreviations" guideline, but that caused too many street names to fall off the map in cluttered downtown areas, and Nominatim didn't translate between the two forms.
