Err, well you brought them up ;) But yes I guess this would largly be directed towards the bot master.<br><br>E Ave example the bot needs to not change E to east despite it being the first item. The logic would be that there is no base name if E is changed to east ans Ave changed to Avenue. Deciding the suffix is the one to change and leaving the E as the base name is a little harder to be sure about when programming the bot.<br>
<br>The southbay example... Well were talking about expanding abbreviations. So as long as we don't remove spaces when doing so there should not be any problems.<br>Southbay has no abbreviations, and S Bay would be expanded to South Bay While the names are confusing, they would remain correct.<br>

For "E Ave", I don't know if you're addressing me or the bot's master<br>
(Andrew), but I'll answer for me. The "tiger:name_base" is actually<br>
"E" (the quotes are used as delimiters). Tonight, I was actually in the<br>
area and I looked at several of the street signs, but not "E Ave". The<br>
actual signs of the two that I noted are "A Ave" and "B Ave", though I<br>
noted "E Ave" when I originally surveyed the area. It should be<br>
expanded to "E Avenue", but no more.<br>
<br>
The "Southbay" vs "South Bay" is something that someone else mentioned<br>
in this discussion. He said that his actual street name is "Southbay<br>
Drive", but some mail arrives with the address of "South Bay<br>
Drive" (which is incorrect). This is something else that we need to<br>
avoid.<br>
