Re: [talk-ph] Street or road name suffixes

[Erwin Olario]

I disagree with adding abbreviations to street names. The observation that
map renders automatically render them are limited to certain styles, and
won't apply to OSM data used elsewhere.

Notwithstanding the on-the-ground rule of the thumb, the standing
convention for abbreviations is ** don't do it**.

[talk-ph] Street or road name suffixes

[Jherome Miguel]

Our present convention on street/road name suffixes, contributed by Rally
since 2015, is to better not include them on the name if they could just
create unnecessary clutter, but since there are already map renderers that
can automatically abbreviate them, I think we should be changing this view.
We should preferably stick on the on-the-ground rule on road/street names:
if the signs (official road signs or shop signs) show a suffix, we should
be including them rather than dropping them because there are no software
that can handle such "map clutter" yet.
