It has been interesting to see the rise of forms that wish you to type in your email address not once, but twice. In an attempt to verify the user entered it correctly.

Those forms annoy me no end, if the mail is invalid you'll get a bounce and will (presumably) not consider me real. I'll not see the mail and will try again later.

I suspect most users copy/paste anyway.

Some forms disable the paste action in the second box to force you to type it again (to avoid copying an error).
