I assume with Missouri they just kept going until they got to a letter that wasn't in Mississippi already

Like, after Michigan was MI, Mississippi had to go to MS, then they got to Missouri and were like welp, O is the next letter that isn't already taken, I guess we gotta go with that

I think Missouri was like 'Shit, we've already used MI and MS. What's left?"

I always like to imagine the Postmasters General, 50 years ago all sitting around getting sauced and asking, "How can we really craft a simple, two-letter abbreviation system for the states that'll REALLY fuck with the citizenry?"

You mean the traditional abbreviations or the USPS symbols for use in postal addressing? Don't look now but there's also a USCG symbol system used for vessel registration numbers. (MA for Maine, MS for Massachusetts, MI for Mississippi, MC for Michigan is all I can remember.)
