[Talk-us] Fixing TIGER street name abbreviations

[Dale Puch]

I think I came up with a rare possibility for error.
The original "st something st" was manually expanded to "st something
street"  your checking for a single st, and there would be.  Or am I
missing another check?  I can't think of any other situations besides Saint
and Street like this.  Possibly check it is at the end of the name or only
followed by a N S E ect.

Or just save those for a second pass at expanding either by another script
or by hand.
