I'm calling this so launchable it's scorching the pad.

If no one objects in the next few hours, I'm going to send it out into the real world.

TI vs TW for "Tidewater"

Hey, all I did was use Wikipedia's interpretation. If either is right, I have no reason to argue one way or the other.

Wikipedia is contradicting itself if it's turning TIdewater into TW. The counterexample from the same article is "MUrray Hill 5-9975 is another example of the 2L-5N format, one of the Ricardos' numbers on I Love Lucy. The H in Hill, although not dialed, is still capitalized as the first letter of the second word."

So MU5-9975 and not MH5-9975. Same comment on MUrray Hill as MU is confirmed by and .

Like I said, no argument. If I was repeating a wiki contributor's error, and you know better, more power to you.

Now this is a fantastic, well-written candidate

It's pretty much launchable as-is.

But I have a few more examples to add, and we should let other users at it, too.

True, I see you've taken this and run with it. With twenty-two examples and counting, it might be time to at least remove the {stub} tag?

Maaaaaaaybe. <grin>
