The first looks almost like a U.S. Social Security number: 212-55-1212.

The second looks almost like an IP address 212.55.51.212.

I use 212/555-1212.  However, many forms on Web pages will only accept
the form (212)555-1212 or (212)5551212.

bureaucracy has obviously never worked for a large corporation.
