Err, well you brought them up ;) But yes I guess this would largly be directed towards the bot master.
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. 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. Southbay has no abbreviations, and S Bay would be expanded to South Bay While the names are confusing, they would remain correct.
