Mistake on my application

In the field where you write your work history, in the address I wrote out the complete address but abbreviated my province. :( I really hate myself.

Has anyone ever had a visa officer that let this go through without returning the application? I'm crushed I've seen so many people waiting 7 or 8 months for a returned application. </3

So for example instead of Ontario you wrote ON?

I've always put BC instead of British Columbia for my province. We use the same address format for PR application, PGP and citizenship. None of those were returned!
I found it normal to use abbreviation for province.

I'm just bringing this up because on the common mistakes on the IRCC it does mention it:

Addresses
Addresses should be written out in full without using any abbreviations. Use the apartment or unit number, if applicable. Example: 999 Family Street, Unit #3, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K3J 9T5

I am seriously, going to stop looking at others' errors and looking for more info because I've already sent it, I can't do anything and I'm just making myself crazy.
