- a) No, I have no plans to maintain this page. I'll probably never go back to Beaverlodge and wouldn't notice if someone else changed the names of the neighbours.
- b) The province and state abbreviations are widely used. My own province is more likely than not referred to out loud as BC ("Bee See") and rarely as "British Columbia". Likewise we talk about the US ("You Ess"). But on the other hand, when websites try to abbreviate Canada as "CA" I think it's California, and it would be confusing to see the St. Pierre graticule as being "FR" instead of "France." There's no worldwide solution. Does that unconfuse you? -Robyn 01:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
