A program wants your zip code, but won't tell you it won't except zip+4 or Zip+4, a space and 2 digits which is the carrier route.

And one of the most irritating things is many site won't allow spaces when you enter a credit card number. We are typing to a computer. It can easily remove the spaces, right?
