Word Verification: Smenita




And for the nth time i typed "s m e n i t a" taking almost 5 seconds to type each letter correctly and again it gave me the same error "Enter the letters as they are shown in the image."!!
If you are one of the many bloggers facing the same issue then don’t fret, here is the good news! Blogger is acting up again and this time it is stuck on the word "Smenita". No matter how carefully you type that 7 letter word it aint gonna let u comment..nope..no way.

Looks like it is part of the 'anti-comment spam campaign' going on at Blogger, but it is rather forcing all the users to turn off the 'word verification' so we could let the visitors comment on our blogs.
Since i've already started getting that alienated feeling without any comments i hereby remove word verification thingy [sigh!] I can almost hear a voice screaming..Spammers of the world Unite!!

So folks, if you are one of the Blogger/Blogspot users out there who are used to my comments in your blog, I’ve tried to comment on your blogs but since i cant get pass this "smenita" i haven’t been able to. Now you know whom to blame for no comments, nope its not something you blogged about, lets blame it on "s m e n i t a"!!!


PS: A lil research on the word.
'smenita' means 'disavowal' in Italian. Also read a comment it means 'Blogger is having employee trouble' :))

Here's the best interpretation for the word..
Guess 'smenita' is a French word which means the Blogger Word Verification system is "down". Well that is the word we see every time Bloggers Word Verification is not working...don’t we?

I thought it looked like s-1-nenita not s-m-nenita...

anyways... I will give the word verfication thing a little more chance. Its a tough choice between allowing spam and genuine anonymous comments :)
