Word Verification

It is hard to comment on blogs with word verification when you've lived your whole life with a "That's close enough" attitude.
They must hire retired Doctors to write them.

Couldn't agree with you more, Cliff. I don't mind doing them when they are just printed words, but some times they feel they have to get really fancy, and there's just no way to read them. I've had to make three tries sometimes.

Those things are frustrating!
Every once in awhile a real word comes up, but usually it's an obscure jumble of letters that are hard to read.

word verification is for those that harbor a real paranoia level

Paul Nichols said...

I hear that! But are you sure the doctors are retired? Maybe they just recently graduated from med school.

And thank you for not using them on your blog.

I agree they are annoying. Do I have them on my blog. I didn't know what I was doing when I started. Well I still don't know what I am doing.

EV said...

Amen, brother. Although, I do remember when comment spam was a big problem. Is this another case of replacing one problem with another?

Lucy Stern said...

Cliff, that word verification isn't supposed to make sense...Didn't you know that?

Jim said...

Well, Cliff, I try to choose plain English for mine. I hope that helps. For sure I always request regular or elite type. None of this pica stuff.

I hope for your sake your globe sold fast. Some of those are anitques, I don't suppose you are old enough yet to have any that old.
Here's hoping you can get warm again. I see it is down to 6F there tonight, the 50's are just for the days. We might get down to 32 or 29 tonight. I'm hoping for the last cold. We have our golf clubs warm all the time.

Do I have it on mine? I'll have to check and see. I know they are a regular pain sometimes when they cram the words all together and you can't tell what it is.

Doctor's do write terrible!! It's the truth!
