Because I am ridiculously pedantic, I have to remind everyone that microFILM and microFICHE are not the same thing.
These are not synonyms. Microfilm (with a spool of film) and microfiche (with a pile of sheets)

This weekend the Poles are taking over Williamsville!

It's Polish Heritage Month and the General Pulaski Association will be holding their annual Fallfest and the 87th Pulaski Day Parade in Williamsville. The food will be tasty and the piwo cold (IYKYK).

See you there!

ZIP is an acronym for "Zone Improvement Plan." Introduced on July 1, 1963, the basic format consisted of 5 digits.

In 1983, an extended ZIP+4 code was introduced; it included the 5 digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and 4 digits that designated a more specific location.
