My Level: 4
Reason for request: naming + Do we want to say “Houlton Me” or “Houlton ME [Maine]”?
Unlocked. Connect with a NB person on the naming. Thanks Nagamasa.
The BGS says Me, not ME. I’m not really sure why we would change it given that.
ME is the abbreviation for Maine. Houlton, Maine is the town just beyond the border. There isn’t such a thing called “Houlton Me” (unlike Despicable Me).
i.e., the question is, should we display and say the incorrect thing, or assume a typo and say and display the correct thing?
I think we should reflect was is on the BGS. This is not a typo, it was deliberately written this way as you can see at the other border crossing
