jackHow do you enter landline telephone numbers[1], when you know at least two of the people living there about equally well?
Do you enter it for both people? Or have a separate entry for the shared surname (if appropriate), house name, or "Name1 and Name2"? Or something else?
[1] Or other shared telephone numbers, although that rarely happens. Most of the time I want to speak to someone specific, and only having one phone for multiple people was a technical limitation. OTOH, sometimes, you DO want to speak to either person ("Are you and Otherhalf free on Saturday?"), maybe there should be a built-in option to route the call to either of their mobile phones?
