var typicalValidEmailFormatRegExp = /(^[\S]+@[\S]+\.[\S]{2,63}$)/; // @fskirschbaum || My RegExp could beat up your RegExp. Fight Me. || Says, essentialy, a bunch of characters, an @ symbol, a bunch more characters, a single dot, ends with a group of characters between 2 and 63 (the allowed min/max size of valid .tld ). Allows a hefty chunk of expected valid email addresses, disallows most typical user error type input of invalid email address. boom.
if ( ___VAR___.match( typicalValidEmailFormatRegExp ) === null ) { return false; }
