One useful thing about ebay and the Set Registry is the improvement in my spelling and grammar. I can now rattle of the correct spelling for places like Minnesota, Milwaukee and Cincinnati without hesitation. I know this may not seem like much of an accomplishment for most of you, but I'm from Texas and realize I still have a long way to go to get on the same level with the rest of the country...

Anyway, which is correct: Pittsburg or Pittsburgh? I've seen it spelled both ways.

P.S. For those of you who think my nickname has something to do with Seinfield, it is an acronym which stands for Steve Eberhardt In "Big D"). Darn it, had to use the dictionary to look up acronym...

    image The board is definitely slowing down a lot when the subject has to be how to spell a word.

    Great question! I'm from Pittsburgh, PA and today the correct spelling is Pittsburgh. However, it was not always officially Pittsburgh. It started off as Pittsburgh in the 1700's, but from 1891 to 1911 or there abouts it was officially mandated "Pittsburg" by the Federal government. That's why you see "Pittsburg" on the T-206 cards. It's a long story. It's better just to read this article.
