Apparently computers are way better at deciphering this kind of text than we are because of all the training we gave them on those captchas that were just words from poorly scanned documents (they didn't know the answers to both the prompts they gave us, only one, so if we correctly typed the word that they already knew they could assume we typed the second one correctly too). All that time I was just trying to get into my Foopets account, I had no idea.
