It used to annoy me too. When I saw those forms, I usually assumed a website owner didn't want to talk to me anyway. But then I realized that's okay. US generally don't care for the rest of the world and I believe they have the right and the privilege to do so. So it's either I move to US or stop complaining. And US companies that, say, want my money - they usually have the right kind of forms already.
- acg 17y agoI disagree there's there's nothing wrong with wanting to raise web standards. More people should complain, we'd have a better web. Some sites still don't have encryption when entering credit card numbers.
- cujo 17y agoSure, but the design of a web form is hardly a standard.
- nailer 17y agoI think being international is a standard of sorts. Eg: - handling international times (say, Feb 1 2007 rather than 01/02/07 or 02/01/07) - allowing people to enter their normal phone numbers and addresses - knowing that United Kingdom is preferred for addressing and Great Britain is not.
