Support traditional (non-postal) province/state abbreviations #28

Open riley-ashton opened 2 years ago

riley-ashton commented 2 years ago

For example 123 Main St Kingston ON will parse, but 123 Main St Kingston Ont. will not. This longer abbreviation is extremely common formatting, especially for PEI and NWT. Also YK is probably a more common abbreviation than YT, despite that YK does not parse.

Likewise French Canadian speakers would probably use TNL, IPE, etc. Quebec should also have the two letter acronyms PQ and QB.
