[BUG] Some fake emails fails email validation regex

[jcobhams]

Describe the bug
When using faker.Internet().Email(), some generated fake emails fails email regex patterns.
Some names like "O\"Connell", "O\"Conner", "O\"Hara", "O\"Keefe", "O\"Kon" found in here trips up a regex pattern for validating email addresses.

Regex: /^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$/g

To Reproduce

In the off chance that you can get the library to pick one of these names and generate a fake email, you can run it against this regex validator: https://regexr.com/3e48o

Expected behavior
That faker.Internet().Email() returns a semantically valid email address format.

• OS: MacOS Monterey
• go version output: go version go1.17.6 darwin/amd64

@jcobhams thank you for reporting 👍 , I've merged the fix for this issue and released it in 1.10.1, the fix will only generate names with valid characters, replacing with "_" otherwise, and includes a validation in tests to check that the email is valid to improve detection of this in the future.

Hi
I am on Angular

And using the below regex:

'^[a-z0-9]+([._-]?[a-z0-9]+)+@[a-z0-9]+([._-]?[a-z0-9]+)+\\.[a-z]{2,3}$'

But its not fulfilling my requirement, my requirement is below:
