I tend to abbreviate Saint (to St), because the full version is almost never used, and certainly never spoken by anybody locally (they say something closer to "Sunt", which they wouldn't say if confronted with the unabbreviated version).
Whereas Road / Avenue / Street get written out in full, because full versions are regularly used, and almost always spoken. Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
