I was at a bank-related company. At least 2% of our clients' SSNs had typos. :-( Sadz.

Well, typos or bad data from the client is a little more difficult to handle than what is basically a regex form validation.
From the client? All those typos come from bank clerks.
It doesn't really matter who the typo comes from. It's going through a form in some computer system, any of which should have form validation.
