Captcha - How I Hate You!

Dear Captcha,

Firstly, let me say that I understand your purpose.  You are there to make sure blogs and competitions don't get over run by spam.  I understand that.  I appreciate that.  I am even grateful.  However I do have some criticisms.

Lately you have been behaving rather oddly.  Not only could a bot not read you - I can't read you!  Firstly, the words, they aren't words.  They're just random letters put together to look like a word.  Secondly, your hand writing.  Lately it has been simply appalling.  Look, I know you have to write on several thousand (if not million) websites a day and have to constantly rewrite for us idiots who can't read the first code, but still, show some integrity please!  When all the letters are jumbled up against each other how on earth am I supposed to work out what that word says?  So, slow down, write a little clearer and then you won't have to do all those re-writes!  Simples!

By the way, I'm not some illiterate, I used to be a secretary and my boss's hand writing could be used for some sort of code because only I could decipher it.  I always said if I could decipher his hand writing I could decipher anyones - you, however, have the first writing to stump me.  Even me, yes me, has to click on the little button at the side of the code sometimes because I just cannot make head nor tail of your writing!

Yours sincerely

A frustrated comper and blogger
