Arguments

.data	A postmastr object created with pm_prep
dictionary	Optional; a tbl created with pm_dictionary to be used as a master list for street suffixes. If none is specified, the full default street suffix dictionary will be used.
locale	A string indicating the country these data represent; the only current option is "us" but this is included to facilitate future expansion.

Details
