Came across a new (at least to me) abbreviation that could merit some discussion. The street name is published in GIS and on the developer's on-site map as "Geo. Meyer Ave", the "Geo." is short for George (the name of the developer). While no street signs are posted yet, it could be safely assumed that they'll be printed as "Geo. Meyer Ave".

The question becomes, do we follow the naming scheme of the LGS/GIS so the map matches the sign, and if so can we get the TTS to pronounce "Geo." as "George"? I am assuming there are street names with "Geo" (without the ".") so that should remain pronounced as-is.

Just submitted a pronunciation issue on the form Xander. Let me know if you have any questions pertaining to it.

The abbreviation spreadsheet Iframe is not loading from the wazeopedia page. I can't load it out of a frame either - looks like the sheet itself has problems?

Have you heard of "A" not being pronounced correctly on exits?

You can report the issue on this form.

But normally the abbreviations are for standard abbreviations used nationwide so it may not be added.

Have you looked up the USPS address to see if the use Geo or George?

I've seen users in the UK complaining about this as well

Can we get "E-ZPass" added to the Abbreviations and acronyms table since that's how it needs to be for Jane TTS? I've had some ask me what the correct spelling should be. Possibly other toll passes as well, if there is any confusion.

Old thread here, but seemed appropriate. Has there been any progress on resolving the numerous mispronounced letter suffixes of ramps and roads? There are quite a few here in central Texas. All forms submitted months ago, but still no change here.

First thanks for the new forum.

Second, can we get District of Columbia added as a state?

Bladensburg Rd NE is not pronounced correctly.

PL

Pronounced by Jane with a short a vice a long one.
Incorrect Blad ens berg road northeast

Correct Blade ens berg road northeast.

Thank you very much.

Form won't open for me so posting here and will transfer once at a computer that allows it.
Update 4/9/18 10:00 EDT Had someone send me full link to the form. Submitted the information there.
