I know that I am one of the 1% or less. I just have to rub it in at times.
Being an ex-programmer, I know that nothing is ever exact or fits the needs. Thus I tend to say "most" rather than all or "usually".
An example. I wrote an inventory system for a Public TV station and their TV Auction (think a shopping channel). They brought in people from off the street and this is back when computers were not in everyones home. These people would sit at a terminal and enter bidders information like name and address. Knowing these people MAY have used a "IBM Selectric" at one time, I checked all numeric fields for I's and O's and so on. My program did not fail, even when asked for a ZIP CODE, one industrious volunteer entered it in Roman Numerals.
Who else would actually trap Roman Numerals in a zip code field? ME! (Well MOST of the time) :-)

Heh heh! But, did it understand Pidgin English?
BTW, with regard to your unique situation: when I was visiting my buddy in Maui a couple weeks ago, he pointed out the (relatively) new Wailea Fire Department station he helped build about 12 - 14 years ago. Before that station, you would just watch your house burn down before the fire department got there.
