Fluther Canucks: Have you noticed this trend with abbreviating place-names?

Asked by Seelix (14952points) January 9th, 2011

I’m just curious about whether this is just an Ontario thing, or whether it’s true across the country. We refer to British Columbia as BC, and Prince Edward Island as PEI, but I’ve never heard Nova Scotia called NS, New Brunswick called NB or the Northwest Territories called NWT.

I know we use these abbreviations while writing, but I’ve never heard NS, NB or NWT spoken. You?
