Believe me when I say that any email address that is not "normal" will be entered incorrectly a high percentage of the time by low-payed employees. And, yes, this is not automated a lot of the time. For genuine sign ups for things you want to get communications from you need to have a simple and easy to type email address that goes to a very easy to spell domain that is a .com. For junk signups use anything you want, but I would recommend just getting a free Gmail address that then forwards to your main email inbox. That guarantees that Gmails superior spam filtering gets rid of the nasty stuff, and if needed you can just get rid of it. I have Gmail addresses that are 15 years old that almost never have spam delivered to the inbox despite having been used all over the Internet and being exposed in more than one data breach. Their spam and malware detection is that good.
