In notes after songs in the DT, where United States postal abbreviations are used, several are consistently incorrect. Arkansas is AR, not ak Arizona is AZ Alaska is AK Alabama is AL Postal abbreviations and postal codes for the United States were assigned beginning in the upper New England states and going south down the eastern seaboard. Scoot over to the west and go back north, scoot over to the west, go south and repeat. It's not alphabetical, it's geographical. Good thread, I'd wondered how to bring this up (about the mistakes in state abbreviations), and this thread seems to be as good a place as any. Thanks. Mary
