Instead of irritating I would say "confusing"...

BTW, I'm not a captcha specialist but I had to deal with password for 
about 400 people in the last 12 years and it became clear to get rid of 
those chars (i,l,1(one),j,o,0(zero),g,6,9).

It's even worse when you don't use "source code savy fonts" (courrier, 
terminal and the likes)

Bernhard, you're fast!

Great works.
