By the way, the name for Guam shows up as "GUAM GU". I think it should just be "GUAM". I created a Gist for two more forms of the states list - titlecase form (first letter of every word is uppercase, remaining letters lowercase) - dictionary form (using <cite>donovan's</cite> suggestion) https://gist.github.com/2646763 Thanks for this!

Guess my searching skills were sub par at the time. For comparison purposes I wanted either all lowercase or all uppercase, the USPS site had all caps so that's what I ended up with. My main use case here was to be able to find the abbreviation based on the state name. Hmm, surprised I didn’t find that one. Guess my searching skills were sub par at the time.

I should have mentioned I am just using this as a static array in my project, I'm not passing it through a service. Yep, that’s true.
