Which end of VT 26 looks better?
Which end of KY 2920 looks better?

The US 62 end. This route is basically just a bridge, and the other end is a gravel county road.

Kind of partial toward the part that ends at a locked gate, myself.

Which end of HU-301 looks better? (A Spanish provincial road consisting of a railway crossing and nothing else)
Various polls:

Favo(u)rite variety of English?
Least favorite politician?
First past the post, approval, instant runoff, or other?
Which forum member is most deserving of a ban?
Favorite typo?

"Pencilvaynia" has to be up there for favorite typos  :-D

With the exception of "least favorite politician", those actually all seem like fairly likely threads.
Care to clarify the third one?

As my first language is not English I may mix several varieties, even to the point of using two variations of the same word equally. I'm sometimes not sure about what words use, which recently led to a funny situation in the Craft Beer thread. As for the typos another vote for "Pencilvania", but I remember a "Person" for "Pearson", the latter having a slight negative connotation for me.
