And in India, they are commonly refereed to as "Zebra Crossing". No one refers to them as cross-walks and most have no idea about that term.

#23Anyone with a half functioning brain can figure out which ones are the taxis. Taxis are not yellow in my country and I would have no issue picking those out. They have the very distinctive sign on the roof that no normal car has. Not even OP was confused by this, they are just complaining on the behalf of some theoretical person who might get confused.

#26At least for humans. It's fairly easy to write a script with current technology even for an average "hacker" to solve them. But on the other hand it's extremely hard, nearly impossible for a person with special needs to complete them. Even for average person solving some of CAPTCHAs is a hassle.
Most of the popular CAPTCHAs services are "robot-friendly" and providers don't care who solves them, they just need data, they don't need to prove you're human.

What the hell is a chimney
A ventilation structure primarily for dispersing smoke from a fire or furnace. I think you call it a "smoke stack" in the USA.

This is a kind of "Western centric" view. In other parts of the world, a van/"minibus" is often used as a taxi.
I'd like to see someone actually show an example of a captcha they were incapable of solving.
