I am dragging myself away from Facebook to write about those stupid word verifications.
These are not words. These are what 4 year olds write when they are learning the alphabet and declaring "Look Mommy I wrote my name!"
I have issues with spelling and it hurts my head to spell words that aren't really words at all.
Here are some gems I came across while commenting around BlogbVille
PILES
SOMPHO
PABINGL
GOAXIMO this one I may use in my every day vocabulary in place of a curse word!
PROCDEN
NOLOL
SKAPOD
CODUL
SQUECT
RICATERM
PAKEBEG
Now you see, some of these could potentially means something so then I am compelled to google them to find out for sure.
Some have shown up as a foreign language, and some of the "did you mean Xyz" options have been downright funny.
I just want them to use real words. Is that too much to ask??
I'm not going to bother spell checking this post because it will be a mass of red. :)

Did you know that you had word verfication on your blog, AND it is a pop up box? So that after you think you have left your comment then this little box pops up and you have to do the WV and then hit enter again.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. Hate them, but do love when a "real" word pops up! Weird right?
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you...I hate word verification!
