text: Is it just me or are those word verification 'tests' that bloggers use to prevent robotic comments getting more difficult? There are now, always two words, not one, and one of them is a number Sometimes a four digit number. What do you type first, the number or the word? Do you type the number as all one word ? Do you put in the 'and' as in One hundred and ten or do you leave it out?
  Then there is the issue of the ever-increasingly-difficult-to-read word. Seems to me that the letters are more blurred than in the past and definitely closer together. No matter how much I enlarge the area, I find them difficult to decipher.
  Maybe I am simply out of touch because of my summer away from blog reading, but over the last few days, once again having the house to myself, I have been trying to catch up on blog reading - and I want to comment. More than once, I have been flummoxed. Denise and Lyn, to name but two, please know that I have tried. Without exaggeration, I bet I tried ten times. Each time my word verification was rejected. Are the computer robots so clever that the words cannot be shown in a clear script?
  All bloggers that normally receive comments from me, please know that I am still reading and hopefully will pass through this robot stage soon.
