| This is an unusual quiz. The "USPS" in the title would suggest that these are exclusively American suffixes, but a great many of them are virtually unused in domestic addresses but common overseas. For example: "overpass"/"underpass": Here in the States, these terms are primarily used to designate an elevated junction of two highways. (I even made an off-the-cuff wisecrack on the quiz last night, since deleted, asking if one had to provide the make of the refrigerator carton if sending a letter to an "Underpass" address. A quick Google search showed that they have different meanings and much more common usage overseas.) It would be interesting to see a list of the actual usages of these suffixes within the U.S. only. All that aside, I'm also shocked "Quay" isn't on the list -- I would think that half of Pittsburgh would be unaddressable without it. |
