Word Verification

Almost everytime you set up something new, such as new email or a new blog, they require word verification. You know the stupid word that is nearly impossible to read in its crazy font with weird colors and to make matters even worse, they sometimes have lines going through the word to make it even tougher to read. One would think that with all the advances in technology we have today they would be able to come up with a way to not have to use those Verifications. Its almost as though sites that use these are trying to weed out some of the people who are unable to read them and that just does not seem right.
