I think it's being kind to other languages speakers to allow them
to find the words in the dictionaries.<br>
As well as the dictionaries not using abbreviations themselves <strike>btw</strike>
by the way.<br>
<br>
But cultural issues interfere.<br>
To a Russian speaking person, "street" is nothing but ул. (улица)<br>
Look at the OSM map.<br>
And they really love abbreviations (coping for long words).<br>
The traditional way to write an address is as follows.<br>
Not illogically in the order of what the letter traverses.<br>
<br>
Russia, Россия<br>
обл. Нижегородская (область, sort of state)<br>
г. Октябрьский (город, town)<br>
606480<br>
ул. Победы, (улица, street)<br>
д. 20, (дом, house)<br>
кв. 29 (квартира, apartment (quarters))<br>
