Word Verifi-what?...

I consider myself to be a bright individual. I have gone to college, been sucessful in my life, and contrary to what Word Verification tells me, I can read. I am actually quite good at decifering different letters of the alphabet. Word verification does not think this is true.

After multiple attempts of simply trying to copy letters that are in front of me, I feel like a failure. Word Verification is putting me down, in a very subtle way. It is saying, "that's okay, let's give you another shot; I know you can figure this out". It tells me "I am just trying to protect you from all the bad people in the world, let's take some precautions, I know you have the extra time". I will take my chances with the spam - I will waste less of my life deleting spam than I will verifying your words - which in all fairness are just letter put together, rarely actual words, so you can get off your soap box.

Oh, but word verification, I apparently cannot tell the difference between a 1 and a 7, or an h and n... or heaven forbid you put the 1 and l next to each other, overlapping with t's and m's. Word verification, you appear to be a high college student, experimenting with the alphabet, and you are not doing it justice.
