The Password Is Sabotage

AITOOW is aware how the "retyping the word seen on the screen" process works? Most of us know by now that those words are from old books they are trying to digitize. What most of us probably didn't know was that they put one "fake" word in with the word they want "translated". The purpose of this is to check if you can "translate" properly. They assume if you get the "fake" word right that you will also get the "real' word right (the computer doesn't know what the word is hence the need to co opt you). I suggest we all mess with them. Type in the "fake" word correctly (usually the one that makes sense) and then type in something horrific for the "real" word. This will be hilarious and it will teach them not to presume that they can annoy us and get something for nothing,
