Adopts two-point post office uses (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espouses

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'adopts' is the definition.
('espouse' can be a synonym of 'adopt')

'two-point post office uses' is the wordplay.
'two point' becomes 'es' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'post office' becomes 'po' (abbreviation).
'es'+'po'+'uses'='ESPOUSES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for espouses that I've seen before include "Marries, embraces" , "Chooses and follows" , "Takes up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
