Turns out the way to write postal addresses in the US is weird. It totally breaks the "from more precise to more general" rule.

@emersion Is there ANYTHING in the US that is NOT in a weird way, for starters? 12-hour time format, MDY dates, °F temperatures, imperial system…

@TritTriton @emersion You'd better ask UK, instead. They started like you say, then some of them migrated to US :-D

@johanonym @emersion But they officially went on the right way, afterwards (except they’re still driving on the left side of the roads).

@TritTriton @emersion Non, non, ils mettent aussi les adjectifs avant les noms, aussi - et un tas d'autres trucs !
Tr.: Not at all, they also put adjectives before nouns - and a whole bunch of other stuff like that ! :-D
