O Really?
Error message upon entering last name into field to get credit report from Experian: "Your last name should have only letters and spaces".
This offends me both as a software tester and a feminist. Nobody thought of hyphens? Now I have to decide whether they want me to enter Shankle Knowlton, Knowlton, Shankle, or ShankleKnowlton.
I picked wrong so I have to submit a request by mail now.

What a colossal load of crap. What's one additional character when it comes to coding? Really? It's not like the concept of hyphenating a last name is new. I know children who hyphenate their last names. Truly ridiculous.
I get comments ALL the time when people see my name. Maybe it's a regional thing. Folks at the bank, voting registration, or tag agency all have to say something like "what you need is a few more last names". Feel super bad for Em though - she has a hyphenated last name. For me, it's easy because I can drop one of the last names in some situations just to make things easy if I need to. Like my email accounts just have one last name. She can't do that without making a decision like "which parent do I love more?"
