minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·2 years agoWould you want to spell that out every time you give your address?
minus-squareRangelus@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoI have to spell my street name 50% of the time, and it’s a perfectly normal English word. The last place I lived had a slightly unusual English word name, and I had to spell it 90% of the time.
