Siri pronounces common address and directional terms inly

Siri will pronounce Ave NE as "aive nee" when using Apple Maps.  Plug in a business name, Apple Maps grabs it, loads the address into navigation, and Siri will always pronounce Ave and directional abbreviations phonetically.  For NW she says En Double-you.  You'd think Apple would have fixed this by now.  She should say Avenue Northwest for Ave NW.  So silly.
