As developer, I understand the need for captchas. As a user, however, I feel they are a horrible invention, often difficult to understand. But, this... this is going to far! Just because I forgot my password, doesn't mean I deserve to be called names! Maybe Google should think about some sort of 'sound-alike' dictionary check before they throw out 7 random letters, eh?

There's a real need and purpose behind these things however they could be done better - take KittenAuth for example. It's a much simpler way of forcing some human thought on a form submission. There have just got to be better ways that misshaped letters and numbers that have criss-cross patterns over them.... those are terrible.
