If anyone is wondering, Arkansas is typically pronounced are-can-saw, although Arkansians pronounce it are-cans-ass.

For references to locations in the United States, yes, it's the state's abbreviated name.

Personally, I prefer the former.. but I don't know what the "typical" would be for that particular one.
