That girl was always falling again and again

I've noticed, of late, that I've been getting worse at filling in captchas correctly. I think that they're getting worse, and harder to read - but possibly this is just the equivalent of declaring as you get older than all your friends have started mumbling.

This was today's particularly troublesome specimen:

really poor captcha image

Is it just me, or is the second word hard to read, and the last letter just a splodge?

Is captcha-reading software getting better, forcing captchas to become ever more illegible?

Or am I, in fact, slowly devolving into a spam bot?

Oh I am *terrible* at reading captchas, which gives me that 'little old biddy' feeling. I try the listen option if one is available or just have to try repeatedly.

Je ne suis pas un bot!
