| The problem here is that just because it's not something you (or your friends) would do, you find it impossible to believe that ANYONE would do it. People have all sorts of in jokes, nicknames, 'oddities' that they share with friends. If you were writing letters to each other for a 'lark' (a seemingly antiquated practice) it makes total sense to me that you might match that with the highly affected "Dear Evan Hansen". People have all sorts of quirks, just because they don't happen to align with yours doesn't make them impossible. You've expressed attitudes and behavior on here that I find 'unbelievable', so everyone is different. | |

| I don't think your snarky response was justified, and I stand by my feeling that no one would ever write a serious, heartfelt letter to someone else and use that person's full name and address as the salutation. I suppose it's possible, as you say, that someone might do that with a light or jokey letter, as sort of an in-joke satirizing the formality of letters, but that hardly describes the letter that causes all the trouble in DEAR EVAN HANSEN. | |

| No snark, just facts. You've said things on here I would NEVER say. All I'm saying is that sometimes people behave in ways that you don't 'get' (as you have done on here), that doesn't make the behavior impossible | |

| I agree. Once I would have thought "surely nobody would joke about suicide on a public forum", but Mr Portantiere proved me wrong there. People (and characters) are always behaving in ways we may not understand, that's what makes life interesting, I guess | |
