Thanks Dug. I didn't know there was a name for those. :D And I agree - they can be very hard to read sometimes.

If you don't get it right 1st time you get a new one some sites provide audio if you have too much trouble reading it.

According to wiki it's
Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart
Which seems a tad contrived for me.

If they are going to pick the initial letters they should at least be consistent and call it CAPTTTTCHA.

I suppose they could have gone for Public Input Test That's B****y Unreadable Lol Lol

There again that's got acronyms in .... hmm not so easy this.
