The two sentences that contain examples of contested usage are:
1. "The postman needs to know who this letter is addressed to so it can be delivered." (The usage of "who" vs. "whom" is often contested here.)
2. "Stephanie started reading the book first, and therefore she finished it before I did." (The placement and use of "therefore" can be contentious, though it's less common than "who" vs. "whom.")
