And yet I've encountered software that fails to account for most of the items on most of the lists.
Heck - I live in a house that has an address like this:
123 1/2 Some St
There are at least another dozen 1/2 addresses in my neighborhood alone. Yet for some reason about half the websites I try to order from refuse to accept it as a valid address. My driver's license is cool with that address, but several state government websites even refuse to accept it as an address.
This isn't even a weird example like Nepal time.
As another commentor said - people probably wouldn't state "i believe no addresses include fractional lot numbers" but they would likely state: "I believe anyone in the US can order from my site" - which is basically the same thing (pedantic quibbling aside).
- greenyoda 3y ago> 123 1/2 Some St There's a similar "falsehoods" list devoted to addresses, which mentions fractional numbers: https://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-addresses/ https://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-a... Apparently, there are even street names that contain fractions, such as "43rd ½ St". Imagine the problems of living at "123 ½ 43rd ½ St"!
