Re:Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses

Probably due to their workplaces using different schemes
e.g. My personal is [firstname].[lastname] and work is [firstinitial][lastname]
If I didn’t use macros I’m sure I’d eventually mix them up too.
I know this because I'm frequently getting mail from automated systems for something they filled out.
I mean, I know there's an xkcd about this, but seriously? How do you mistype your own email address so often? In both cases, their real addresses are [first-name][last-name].
