Subject: Re: [Talk-us] USPS Post Boxes

It would be good to standardize on operator tags for the 4 major carriers
as you mentioned.  The logos for DHL, FedEx, and UPS have those exact
letters in them, so if people map what they see, then they will end up with
those exact values.  However, as mentioned, the USPS logo actually contains
the text United States Postal Service.

I could be convinced to switch my tagging from United States Postal Service
to USPS.  Are there any arguments to support the short form beyond it being
easier to type?

[...]

I would like to point out there are free, little utilities like Typertask that will quickly expand a few keystrokes into many more letters.  This can greatly speed up typing long strings like "United States Postal Service".
