A few comments on "words"
I want to talk about the "word verification" requirement that sometimes is, well, required when one posts a comment on a blog or buys something online.
Usually they are random sequence of letters. In fact, they are never actually "words". Am I right? Why the misnomer?
Perhaps equally as disturbing: Occasionally I have to get a new sequence of letters (er...a new "word") because I don't type in the letters correctly. I was allowed to graduate from grade school, high school, and college and apparently these letters can still dupe me. Who's to blame? Me? My teachers? My parents?
Nah. I am going to blame it on the computer techs who don't know the definition of a "word".

In your question about who is to blame for your inability to decipher verification letters, you ask if your parents or your teachers should be blamed.
I'm voting teachers.
