I also love this feature. I'm in the USA. One of the things that I noticed is that when SP provides a dropdown list of the 50 states, it spells their entire name out. It is rare that you will see this in forms or when referring to states in an address and most times, the space for the state is just enough for two characters.
Usually the state will be abbreviated as follows:
Pennsylvania = "PA"
Here are all the states and their abbreviations for your reference...thanks!
