SH: Do you want me to print that [job application] letter?
Me: Yes. That's why I sent it to you.
SH: But there's a sentence fragment! And you didn't put "Wisconsin" in the address!
Me: That's because they know they are in Wisconsin and they know [our town] is in Wisconsin. [Probably because our towns share the border of 124th Street.]
SH: And you just wrote "37 Street" instead of "37th."
Me: I know.
SH: But it's wrong!
Me: Not really. That's style preferences.
SH: You're supposed to be formal and perfect!
Me: It's not an engineering job. It's a job at a company that promotes itself as a fun place to work where they are trying to bring about world peace via food. I don't think they are looking for formal and rigid
SH: You're doing it wrong.
Me: Just print it, please.
