"If you want to do it right, Dan, it's either West Virginia or WV or even West "by God" Virginia. None of this West "VA" stuff. VA doesn't live here anymore. Make no mistake, we are very sensitive to this...even more than being called incestuous. 8^) "


Likewise for Virginia.
Unless you are mailing a letter, it's Virginia, or Va.

VA is the Veterans Administration.

The Federal Post Office does not name states.

"Unless you are mailing a letter, it's Virginia, or Va.

VA is the Veterans Administration."

Pretty sure that for mailing purposes, the two character state codes are Capitalized.

Hence VA for Virginia, CA for California, etc.

Sure, VA is used for other uses, such as Veterans Administration.

Similarly, CA is also a country code, for Canada.
