The only one I can think of is phone numbers, e.g. Australia is a 4-3-3 grouping for mobiles. But a space has been the standard delimiter there anyway.

- bigiain 9y agoDashes were "the standard delimiter" for a long time for Australian phone numbers. 451-4153 was my phone number growing up (and yeah, I'm showing my age with a seven digit phone number... A friend of mine was on 99-0066 up until the early or mid '90...)
- photojosh 9y agoFair enough. I grew up overseas, so my local knowledge only kicks in in '99.
- Jedd 9y agoInteresting. As a contra data point, I grew up in Sydney with 86 2050 as our landline (as if there were any other types of line! :) and I never saw hyphens used within phone numbers. I worked for Telstra during most of the 1990's, and didn't see it in use there either. Might be a regional thing? I note that our North American cousins enjoy splattering hyphens through their phone numbers. I like the space approach.
