Bluestacks?

No, no, and no. When you have abbreviations that can easily conflict, you want to side with the most restrictive case which will produce the fewest false positives. I'm OK with LA-[0-9]{2-3] (regex match exactly LA- followed by exactly 2 digits or 3 digits), if it is asked for. But if you made LA by itself an abbreviation? You're asking for some road that abbreviates Los Angeles somewhere to be misread. I guarantee there are other similar issues for many abbreviations that would be nice to have.

Find a problem, solve the problem as narrowly as possible, and you will introduce the smallest number of false positive errors.

Have we ever had a problem with X=10th before? Per the UR below, the X in Malcolm X Blvd was being pronounced "tenth." I don't know if this is an isolated occurrence. I imagine if it is a problem, it could be resolved by changing "X" to "X." (with a period).

So TTS finds two-letter state names comma-cle?

I'll see myself out.

'X' should be sufficient to say "ex" instead of "tenth."

SHould be. In this case, apparently wasn't.

How about one LESS space instead? Northern VA/Frederick instead of Northern VA / Frederick

Note that missing space before the first slash.

This is an old discussion.

Br can mean either Branch or Bridge in the real world. In TTS, unless there is some common pattern that would allow the TTS engine to differentiate the use cases, it has to be one or the other. Bridge is far more common, though Brg has much traction as well.

I'd be far more willing to sacrifice Branch to Bridge than the other way around. We can, perhaps, ask Waze to run us a report of every instance of "Br," and spell out all the Branch ones that we can find. It would be a big job, nonetheless, as each case would have to be examined, an determined to be Branch or Bridge.

Theoretically, yes, we could do it the other way around, and turn all Bridge instances of Br into Brg.

I would say NY/NJ uses poo-LAS-key. More bad pronunciation key donations appreciated.

I can see Divers being an issue, as it is also a word unto itself.
