Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Hey folks, I have something slightly off-topic to ask you I have often wondered about? Is it any way considered rude or unpatriotic to abbreviate United States of America? The reason I ask is because it is sometimes difficult for me to fit United States of America on an envelope, and I don't want to offend anyone, but nor do I want them not to receive their package because the postal worker can't read the tiny writing I have to use I'd be grateful for an education. Thanks folks

 

Thanks Vince, the reason I ask is that when I ask folks in the US for their address, about half of them use the full form, even though I have asked them to abbreviate wherever possible. I just wondered if I was committing a faux pas, you never know because things change from country to country, and from culture to culture. What is considered perfectly normal in one place can be considered downright rude in another. I'm grateful for the info

 

Thanks guys

As an aside, the first year I did the Guardians knives, I noticed the small number of Canadians included their country in their address, but only one of the American members - @r8shell! These days, there are usually one or two folks who miss it off Last year, it was just one, but I'll spare his blushes by naming him

 

LOL! It wasn't you Mark!

 

My back is a little sore, so I thought, having drunk my solitary beer, I would relax it a little with a Rusty Nail No ice in the freezer though! Can't drink a Rusty Nail without ice, so I will just have to drink Scotch!

 

Thanks Harvey, really looking forward to seeing him Hopefully I can snap a few pics too

 

Thanks OG

Good point, and thank you

 

LOL! And don't sit on the radiators or you'll get chewing-gum on your backside!
