It seems that in the US cities in OSM that I've looked at, mappers have
been fairly (but not completely) consistent in using full quadrant
names: Northeast, Northwest, …

Quadrant addresses in Canadian cities seem to be almost perfectly
consistent in using NE, NW, …

I must admit, the US map looks very strange with the words spelled out
in full.
