You know, every time you use something like Google Authenticator there’s a little something there that @siracusa did.

As I recall, in one of his blogs, tweets, or podcasts, he pointed out that it was way easier to read two groups of three numbers. And I think that very month every similar program in the world (nerds: TOTP generator) implemented it

I can’t find a citation for this, but maybe it is lost in the ephemerality of the early blog era. Should this space be known as the “siracusa”?

@neilk @siracusa It drives me nuts when web forms do not respect grouping and formatting of telephone numbers and credit card numbers.

@HootenHaller @neilk @siracusa There is a flipside to phone number grouping: It drives me nuts when American websites (that serve non-American customers) enforce the American 10 digit grouping logic. EU numbers have often more digits. And the number of digits is not pre-determined.

@hoemma @neilk @siracusa True. Still, there’s no reason the field validation couldn’t allow spaces and punctuation to be entered.
