Don't have anything > from there except Mexicali, which is just across the border from Calexico. One could think there are some. Then again, they are not as terse as you in the north, but they can gladly have towns called things Libertador General San Martín. I saw you had a few street names. I don't know about these; were the abbreivation just created for the streets? In Sweden I found two instances of Aseavägen (in Bollnäs and Robertsfors). Asea is originally an acronym - Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget - but it has since long been a name of its own. (Today you find it as the A in ABB, ASEA-Brown Boveri.) So I would not really count it. |
