Making my life more difficult by degrees

It's a little thing, but sometimes those little things can cause big annoyances.
Have you noticed that Blogger has redesigned the text verification? It is now even harder to read. This pisses me off.

i have just noticed it. and you'll remember a while back when I asked everyone to STOP USING IT. But that didn't fly very well, unfortunately.

I have, and I thought it was only I, having that problem. It seems as though the letters overlap and my poor eyes have a problem with it even with glasses on. I can only say to make sure you save your comment in the event the program sends it off into cyberspace to never come back. One can paste it in again and hope for better letters for the "word verification." I am so tempted to click on the "handicapped" sign and see what happens.

Yes. It's terrible. I have dyslexia and the new design is nearly impossoble for me to decode.

no i hadn't noticed. but i do know that the verification text on whatever service marc olmsted uses is confounding. i error out using it almost every time.

btw, i hope you are well.

I just pretend I'm reading a teenager's writing. Works every time.

Hey, greetings from west coast Florida! I'll be having dinner with somewherejoe in a few hours. Can't wait!

It never fails that I always get the long "words" to verify, which tend to have the smallest font and letters bunched close together.
