"Recognize that when you write the application numbers and/or the
certificate numbers on the form that you are putting the information
in specific blocks which have specific meanings; such as invalid
application (the equivalent of SO) or widow's certificate (the
equivalent of WC). But when you are not writing the information on the
form the numbers have no context and context is required to understand
what it is and each has its own meaning."
