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?

I get saltord (...which is not a word...) and glorified. Though as three of the so-called letters only make sense in context, if it's meant to be a non-word then anyone trying to identify it is sunk.

The third letter could be any of o, e, a or even u, the eighth letter ditto, and of the final smudge the less said the better...)
