- one to grow on
The proper two letter postal code abbreviation for the state of Maine is ME.
MA is Massachusettes.
Seriously this comes up at least once a day while I'm processing boxes out in the warehouse, and I assume at least some of these people actually live in Maine.
*headdesk*
And in our defense, sometimes computers switch up the abbreviations on us. Some websites have them in alphabetical order by state (where Maine comes before Massachusetts) and some have it alphabetical by abbreviation (where MA is before ME). I admit to choosing option A before when scrolling to the M's. But it is something one should notice immediately after screwing up.
However, the package that was labled MN when the rest of the address (including the zip) was TX? Them I still get to make fun of.
