Don't think it matters, it just differentiates between a human or a bot by having to input a command.

No, he didn't know what the correct answer was.
You should have said, "It is incorrect to say that I am NOT a real person."
So, the answer is No.

Depends.

If you spell your name in "Title Case" then you are a real person. This is called capitous diminutio minima.

If you spell your name in all "CAPITAL LETTERS" then you are a corporation. A non person. This is called capitous diminutio maxima.

In Latin:

capitous=entrap

diminutio=restriction

Better check your birth certificate and your IDs to make sure.
The programmers you will one day be looking to hire are the ones reading the tech news sites right now.

And they will remember...

I fuxxing love you Q. lol

The reason that is there is so that bot tools can't register billions of accounts on the forums and spam us to death. It's a little tricky and crude, but it works well.

Of course, if you see spam on the forums, let a moderator or administrator, like myself, know about it. But welcome to the forums anyways, deoxxys, and keep on playing those Pokemonz! :D
