| I wouldn't say it "needs" to be accepted. I compared the spellings with google and "Fort Worth" were more than 10 times as common. That is a more significant difference than any other similiar case I checked (Fort Lauderdale, Fort Wayne, St Louis). The latter was actually the only one where the short form was standard. Thus, I think it's reasonably safe to say that "Ft Worth" is a secondary, more sloppy, form. |
