While I sympathize with non-English speakers, I must confess that it's been quite a while since I filled out a CAPTCHA on a Wikimedia wiki. Surely most users use unified login, requiring a CAPTCHA to only be filled out once for all Wikimedia wikis?
I was thinking that this first step into entering a wiki (as a registered user) might be the most difficult thing people will ever be required to perform in their life as a Wikimedia user. It is like we require our users to have an IQ above 130, while very simple on-wiki tasks such as correcting typing mistakes don't require more than an average IQ.
