Welcome to OSM! Please don't use abbreviation on street names. Stands the abbreviation cmn for common?

Comment from VetTrnrDraco
User_5359, thank you for the feedback. I however was not the one to originally lay out the route I merely corrected it's path. When I am at my computer later I will update that. I am curious though as to why that one matters over St, Rd, or Ave?

Comment from freebeer
One can trivially go from, say, Avenida to Ave. But how do you know if Pl should be expanded to Platz, Plaza, Playa, or if Tr is Trail or Trace? St for Straße (yeah, I know, Str.), Strada, Street? And lots more. Like, is E the letter E in a series A-N, or short for East?
There are many more languages where a common abbreviation (Ul.) gets expanded to different things, just as there are many more possibilities the above examples could be expanded into.
Hope that gives you the perspective to understand! -

I appreciate the feedback, I have updated the road name. My best guess is to use the local nomenclature. I live in the area and wouldn't even try to edit areas in Europe or Canada as I have no firsthand knowledge of those places.

I would like to remind you carefully, that OSM isn't a national project! Please read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29
By the way, I usually change this without asking, but I didn't really know the meaning of the abbreviation CMN. You were "just" the local mapper, I could ask for the local interpretation. -

Hallo Vet,
I have just opened a challenge bug-report as
https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/1292856
in Mexico which only took me less than a minute to find :-)
I am sure that you - or anyone around the world who can understand english and knows the OSM guidelines we are discussing here, can edit there 100% without any problems.
There are many, many ways to contribute to OSM from afar, that are just as good as being local.
Feel free to try this if you like. The world is a big place, and OSM gives you the chance to explore it and contribute without being there or knowing about it.
Thanks for your fixes! -

Such as I said user_5359, I was not the original user to map Westbrook Common. I do apologize for not catching the confusion when editing.
