Hi ls7550, Nope, "through" and "thru" are both used here in the US of A. The shorter is mostly used in informal things, like road signs and chat. The longer is what is considered "proper" for more formal communications. Though I don't know for sure, I think it got shortened because of road sign space, or lack there of, rather.

Best,

Allen
