    Hadn't read this thread until today, but things are hot, especially when it comes to saying that foreigners are the problem.

    In the US I'd be a foreigner, yet I'd know much better than doing such a WTF, be it in the US or whatever other country, planet, universe or else. It's just a matter of asking how things are done, which a lot of "developers" won't do, wherever they come from.

    I, for one, find it a lot offensive that people would say some things I've read:

    Anonymous:

    I, as an american, submit that all such stupidity (as displayed both by the original WTF, and by the tendency to blame it on nationality) is instead an international resource in depressingly abundant supply.

    I might be missing something, but as I see it, this guy (given name CleverAlias) misses the point: this is to blame on stupidity, not (inter)nationality. (A praise for protecting his own national buttock, though)

    Also about this other comment:

    Oh, people, believe it is real!  Back in the mid-80's (I know, a lifetime ago) we were cleaning up data in a railcar tracking system.  We found that some rail cars were located in

    Puerto      RI

    So there's of course no town in Rhode Island named "Puerto".  It was of course, "Puerto Rico" but had just been entered in a mainframe system which didn't even have this bad GetStateAbbreviation function (or anything else) verifying what was entered in the State field....

    It can happen!

    My guess is that this was an H-1B visa programmer or foreign contract (no Visa, it was written in Bangalore) who may have glanced at the list quickly and has no clue as to U.S. geography.

     

    why should foreign programmers care about U.S. geography, when U.S. programmers don't care about the geography in the rest of the world, i've lost count of the number of U.S. company websites that "demand" a zip-code when trying to order goods to Ireland, BTW we don't use a zip code system.

    I was trying to be sarcastic because, as you pointed out, the Anonymous poster started with such a trollish comment; hence my starting the comment with a paraphrasing of his.

    I do not promote nor condone prejudice.  Every human in this planet has the potential for stupidity.  However I, as an American, recognize the problems with our current educational system and our cultural insistence on tolerating and celebrating mediocrity.  I just don't like outsiders pointing them out.  Call it foolish pride. :)

    I think you did miss the point of what was said.  It's a little convoluted so I'll translate:

    "I, as an american, submit that all such stupidity"  = I'm American and I'm saying that all this stupidity

    " (as displayed both by the original WTF, and by the tendency to blame it on nationality) " = such as the original code and suggesting it must be caused by foriegners

    " is instead an international resource in depressingly abundant supply." = is not limited to one country or the other but is a global problem.

    In other words, stupidity is everywhere and it's stupud to suggest otherwise.

    WTF!   Zipcode is a redundant "checksum" for the city/state.   You should ALWAYS look up the city/state and zip-code in a database annd make sure they match.   If they do not match you need to ask : Did you mean Athens, Georgia, or Wittenberg WI?  

    Be careful though, the post office made a big WTF when assigning zip codes, there are some cities that share zip codes with another.   Some big companies get their own zip code, and most big cities have several zip codes.  

    Remember to handle the same for foriegn countries if you ship to them of course.   Most (but not all) have some form of postal code that you need to check, but it might not be 5 digits.  




    Heh, the city I grew up in (Lincolnwood, IL) actually SWITCHED zipcodes from 60645 to 60712.  Also, 60645 was a zipcode for Chicago, and I can't remember if 60712 is also for Skokie.  So yes, you do need *all three* identifiers.

    On a side note we also changed our area codes twice 312->708->847, and now have to type in the area code *even when* making local calls.

    Would that you were right.  However, it sounds like this is in code that actually shipped and was actually paid for--so were it done offshore, it would already have had its impact.

    Worse, when the next job comes up, do you thing the holders of the purse strings will remember that the state abbreviations were incorrect, or that it cost 40% less than it would have had it been done in-house?

    If I address it AE, where the heck does it end up?

    If you address it AE, it ends up back in your mailbox, just like if you address something NY.  You need a little more info to get a letter to the right place.



    Not if you address it correctly.  All military directed mail will be going to an APO/FPO address, with it's own code.  That, plus the 'Military State' code is more than enough to ensure proper routing.

    More funny facts about ZIP codes and international apps: in Austria, the zip code can change within a city: the capital of Austria, Vienna, has 23 districts with 23 different zips. Each starts with 1 (the zip digit of the county of Vienna - each of the nine counties has its own number, and I think 0 is either unused or reserved for some special nation-wide organizations), followed by the district number, and finally a 0, so the sixth district has 1060.
    The fourth digit is for individual large mail receivers. They would have their own "post boxes", marked by the fourth digit, so there might well be ten different zips per district, making a total of 230 zips for one city alone.

    Most web apps I've seen present a drop-down with the U states, which is simply ignored if the chosen country is anything but USA.

    The word "sic" (which is not an abreviation, therefore it shouldn't really be capitalized) comes from the Latin word "sic", which means "thus" or "so". The english word "sic"  (which incidentally also exists in many other languages) can be used in some different ways. I was just pointing out that the original poster was correct in his use.

    If I remember correctly, the word was popularized by its use in presciptions, when an unusual dosage was prescribed.

    *shrug* It's the way it's done. Stuff like bank letters generally has a return address, but personal post? Hardly ever. We also lack a postal code system; by the time one became necessary for logistical reasons, post was hugely on the decline due to email and it was judged too expensive.
  • Uncle Davo (unregistered) in reply to Hank Miller

    Holy uninformed speculation, Batman. A ZIP code directs mail to a USPS installation. Some post offices cover more than one city. Some post offices (like the one in the building I work in) cover a single structure. Three digit ZIP prefixes cover particular, cohesive regions. Perhaps I'm over-emotional, but my problem domain at work (transportation auditing with a focus on the USA) contains the ZIP system. The anoheliocentric garbage folks seem compelled to post is astonishing.

    A ZIP code originally directed to a single Post Office (unique across states.)  You can go to the USPS site, type in a naked ZIP code, and it will tell you both the state and the closest city.

    ZIP codes start out low (beginning with 0) on the East Coast, and gradually increase as you move West.

    I'm sure some web sites use a combo box as input with the full state name as the data.  Not saying it's smart, just saying it probably happens.  Also, it could be a free-form input field where it says State/Province in order to support countries other than the USA.

    Concur with the second Anonymous guy here.  I have seen several websites, mostly those who deal with both US and International shipping, as well as military APO/FPO shipping use input boxes to ship to international address which won't have a 2 letter state abbreviation, or the full state name, or the spelled out country, etc.

    It's odd that so many respondants have said that if they had to come up with a solution for a foreign country they would research how states/provinces/whatever are abbreviated there.  I suppose I would, just out of curiosity, but mostly I would just provide a table that mapped names to abbreviations and let the customer worry about the details.  That's the beauty of a table-driven approach.

    I also find a lot of the speculation about invalid abbreviations like "PE" or "NO" or "SO" interesting.  No one seems to have considered that this may be a regional company that gets 99% of its orders from (say) New York and New Jersey.  Instead, they assume the data will be distributed across the fruited plain.  Of course, it's pointless to speculate.

    In the spirit of this WTF, I offer the following highly optimized version:

    public string GetStateAbbreviation(String stateName)
    {
      return "NE";
    }

    Half right. Capitol is correct when referring specifically to DC. Hence the comment.

    Yeah, this is old, and I can usually leave this alone (Lord knows I get enough practice with principle/principal and affect/effect), but when someone's got it ALMOST right and is clearly TRYING, I feel compelled to help.

    Capitol refers to a building (or a group of buildings). Capital refers to, among other things, a city which is the seat of government for a particular region.

    The Capital of the United States is Washington, DC. The US Capitol is IN Washington, DC, but it's not the entire city, it's that big building with the dome on top at the east end of the Mall on Capitol Hill.
