@Tordanik: St is not a by-choice abbreviation. It is the correct spelling in British English. "Saint Ives" is always wrong as a placename in British English. It's lovely that "you do not consider [the guide] an argument" but, with the greatest respect, you're not a native British English speaker.

2007年12月27日 · It is unlikely that they would be confused, because the abbreviation for "saint" normally precedes a proper name, and the abbreviation for "street" would follow one. St. Lawrence = Saint Lawrence. Lawrence St. = Lawrence Street. Note that AE uses a period for all abbreviations as BE once did, but modern BE no longer does.

2017年5月21日 · St as an abbreviation for the German word for "piece/count" occurred to me too but unless everything was capitals, then it would be St and OP gave us. sivec said: Neither of the companies has anything to do with Germany, but I guess the term could be used more widely.

2011年4月25日 · My understanding is that BE does not do this if the abbreviation includes the last letter of the abbreviated word; thus, abbreviations for "Mister" or "Fort" (Mr and Ft respectively) would not have a period. "St." for "street" would, because it is a truncation, but "St" for "Saint" would not. Or maybe it's the other way around.

It's also worth mentioning that the argument above about whether one lives "in" or "on" a "close" (as a type of street) stems from the fact that in British English it is common to talk about living "in" a street ("I live in Tufnel Street"), while in U.S. English only the preposition "on" tends ...

2020年6月20日 · An older form of abbreviation for "Saint" was S. (which is a use in English of the Latin practice), and the corresponding form for "Saints" was SS. This form is not so common today, but you will occasionally come across it in the names of individual churches which prefer it, as in the case of this church:

2008年12月25日 · In French from France, "Saint" (St) is considered as an adjectif and, thus, takes the gender agreement: Saint Luc, Saint Marius, Saint Georges ("St") Sainte Lucie, Sainte Maria, Sainte Georgette ("Ste", always: wroten elision is not possible) [NB. Note, moreover, that a "-" is put when refeering to churches or places and not to the saints ...

2012年7月29日 · I keep seeing 'sta.' for an abbreviation of 'station' locally. The shorthand is used in street signage, for instance. Sendai Station ---> Sendai Sta. Is it commonly used worldwide? (I would use 'stn' if I needed to shorten 'station') What is used in …

While apt. may be used in a classified ad when referring to an apartment in general (that is, an apartment referred to without a specific number), when used in addresses with a number the abbreviation is invariably capitalized: Apt. 34.
