What is it with the US government and having indecipherable forms?<p>I&#x27;ve had a few dealings with CBP, IRS and such, and every time I try to read and comprehend a US government form, I notice that they all seem to be designed to have as little spacing as possible. They&#x27;re very fond of using lines as dividers between fields (rather than around just the response box) and then putting them as close together as possible so it becomes a confusing, uneven mess. Sure, the form takes up fewer pages, but it&#x27;s ugly as heck.<p>In Australia, OTOH, while the questions on one&#x27;s paperwork are still just as tricky, at least it&#x27;s usually clear which question you&#x27;re answering and how the form is meant to flow.
