*OUR ZIP CODES*

.

*a ZIP Code is a ‘postal code’ used by the ‘united states postal service’ (aka ‘USPS’) in a system it introduced in ‘1963’*

.

(the term ZIP is an ‘acronym’ for zone improvement plan)

(it was chosen to suggest that the ‘mail’ travels more ‘efficiently’ + ‘quickly’ (as in ‘zipping along’) when ‘senders’ use the ‘code’ in the ‘postal address’)

(the ‘basic format’ consists of ‘5 digits’)

(an extended ZIP + 4 code was introduced in ‘1983’ which includes the 5 digits of the ‘ZIP code’, followed by a ‘hyphen’ + 4 additional digits that reference a more specific location)

(the term ZIP Code was originally registered as a ‘servicemark’ by the ‘US postal service’, but its registration has since expired)

.

(last 4 syllables in “9 digit” ZIP code indicates “special delivery route”)

(it seems ‘5 digits’ will suffice)

(and the last 4 digits help the ‘mailmen’ and help to prevent ‘delivery error’)

.

(a ‘postal code’ is the same as a ‘ZIP code’)

(only ‘ZIP codes’ pertain to ‘the united states’)

.

(and ‘postal codes’ are (all?) ‘international’)
