Dear Word Verification. I Hate You.

I’m a very patient person but I may have reached my limit today.

First it was deer.  Then it was the guy at the Mexican restaurant.

Now… word verification.

Seriously?!?

I like to visit other people’s blogs and I don’t mind typing in a couple of letters so I can leave my attempt at a witty or sincere comment on their work. Personally, I totally appreciate it when someone leaves a comment on my post (hint hint hint) so I will gladly jump through this small hoop for a good post.

But today, facebook drove me off the cliff.

I wanted to share a great link with a group on facebook and before it would post, facebook asked me to “verify” these words:

I ask you… can you even read the first word? Is that an A?

If you CAN see it, do you know what it means? Abilted?

I did not.

I looked it up.

Here’s the definition:

Oh wait… IT’S NOT EVEN A WORD! I also tried ‘Abilt’ in case I was missing something. NOT A WORD.

See:

Oh and then the second word…

IS THAT UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS?????

What the heck people?

Please do me a favor facebook turn off word verification before I lose my mind. Or at least use real words.

M’kay?

Thanks,

Sara
