Re: [Talk-us] Fixing TIGER street name abbreviations

[Nathan Edgars II]

The process seems obvious to me: check that the name is still what it 
originally was (from the tiger:name_base etc. tags), and if so, use 
those tags to expand abbreviations. (Ignore any with semicolons/colons 
from joining.) If not, set it aside for semi-manual checking. The only 
false positives that are not errors in the TIGER data will be caused by 
someone changing the tiger tags, and if both these and the name were 
changed consistently, the editor probably knew what they were doing.
