That New York DMV site isn't asking you to put in a phone number into the email address. TRWTF is that it has a separate phone number field with the CSS style display: none. It's required, but it's invisible!

Good grief! You're right. I submitted it as an image.It never dawned on me that my ad blocker would actually analyze an image that I created by screen capture.

Yes. I often see web forms that say "enter credit card number with no spaces". Why? It would take one line of code in most languages to remove the spaces, surely less code than that required to check for spaces and format and display an error message. RE phone numbers: I worked on a web site where another programmer had put in code to give an error message if the phone number contained any non-digits, hyphens or parentheses or whatever. I changed it to just strip out the non-digits. It was four lines of code.
