Survey: Addressing Envelopes

[c9]

Here's a quick survey for you. It's a cheap poor-Cam's version, you have to actually comment. Therefore I expect all sorts of witticisms.

You see this address on an envelope:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
860 - 50 Queen St N
Kitchener ON
N2H 6P4

Please identify the street number(s) and/or suite number(s), as you see them.

I will comment with the truth, and why I'm asking. But if I type it right here, you'll all read it and then your answers will be biased already knowing the setup.

Update: So apparently Americans are insane. This confirms my previous beliefs. :)*

Upperdate: halimattfax points me to a page that shows that I'm correct**. Those pages are my favourite! http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/b03-e.asp

* some, anyway.

** at least within Canada.

The street number would be 860, and the suite number is 50, altho it is unusual for suite numbers to be below 100.

that's what you'd THINK.

but in canada they have some weird hyphenation thing going on.

my address is 4650 street name apt #15

but i can also write it 15-4650 street name.

screwed up, i know!

if anything, it shoudl be 4650-15 (street first, then apt number)

but i like tommy's way best below.

I can never get it right. I always want to say 4650-15 street name. So, I just write 4650 street name 15.

That was how I did my address in VA... of course, my apt had a letter in it:

1584 Wesleyan Dr B193

It seems to me that it would be illogical to separate the street number and the street name.
