Dull and pointless thread: To think that my husband is wrong and my handwriting is perfectly legible.

Your handwriting is like a solvable puzzle.

Enough words are legible to figure out most of the rest but there are many words that I wouldn't be able to figure out of a standalone basis.

Most people just want to read and upstand quickly without the level of effort required to figure it out.

One quiche brain pax Jenga oven the easy day ? Simple !

😂 That what my sister says about mine. She tells me I write in some sort of code she has yet to crack . Thats fair

YABU and your DH is right. Your handwriting is scruffy and wirey. I can only make out what it is because I know the sentence. Fox, Jumped, and Dog look like completely different words. Dog looks like 'dey.'

The sentence you wrote in your post at 11.33 is almost impossible to read!

Stupid poll too, as it can only make your DH look wrong. Why bother posting if you think you're right? 🙄 You're not right, you're wrong!

It's a lot better than mine!

I don't think it's hard to read at all but I've had a job transcribing reader's letters (a long time ago!) and this is definitely on the more readable end of that scale! I think people are less used to seeing cursive writing now too, a lot of handwriting I see is that kind of rounded what I call bubble writing.

I had to read it 3 times. I still couldn't read "corrosion"

My own handwriting is bad so I know I have to be careful when I write notes for people. I tend to not write them joined up.

I can read it. It’s quite chaotic writing, but legible.

I couldn't read "corrosion" or "actuators" in the second sample.

I think with a little bit of care/slowing down you'd have beautiful writing, I love proper cursive. But I mark exams and I would've been guessing at what you were trying to say there.

You could write him a note to tell he's right, but of course he won't be able to read it so he'll never know.😂

I could work out your second note after a couple of reads. It's not a topic I'm that familiar with so some of the words were not familiar to me.

I have to write carefully if I want someone else to read my notes. I can read my writing perfectly well though.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤫

I find it easy to read but I literally read doctors' handwriting for a living!

I'm not 6 either. My handwriting is really bad. It has always been bad. Endless handwriting books as a child didn't improve it, doing three essay heavy a levels, pre laptops, didn't improve it. With a lot of effort I can write legibly for others but it really is a lot of effort and the more I concentrate on the writing itself the more likely it is that I make spelling mistakes.
I'm also very bad at sports that require hand eye coordination. It's just how some of our brains are wired, I think.

I have no problem reading either @Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast . Surgical nurse here so used to reading lots of different handwriting.
My colleagues would all think this is an easy read as sometimes it can take at least 3 of us to read certain doctors notes 😁
I'd say your husband would think yours was legible if he did read a surgeons note!
Taz.

I can read it but many of the letters are formed in a non-standard way which will throw people. For example, the bottom loop of "f" is missing, the top bubble of "g" is not formed, the first letter "t" has been formed as a single loop from left to right without lifting the pen, which is not right at all- and so on.

He’s right but apparently messy, joined up writing is a sign of intelligence and a quick brain (think doctor) so hopefully that makes you feel a bit better 😊

....but are you going to tell him he is right 😀😀

If it's any consolation, my handwriting is far worse. I was actually pulled up at the end of my University Finals, and told I needed to dictate all my scripts as nobody could read them to mark them.

Serves me right for refusing to do handwriting at primary school. I thought it was for girly swots.

Stylistically it's quite unusual. The are a lot of inconsistent letter formations and the upward and downward strokes don't have a standard direction. It looks like you have learned using different methods at different times.

I can read it, but it is awful style.

A lot of your letters seemed to be made out in non standard ways and your joining methods within words are non standard at least by the way I was taught.

For example most people would read your last word as dey rather than dog.

So the TLDR from me is, your handwriting is just about legible, and generally qualifies as pretty crap.

Send the guy a text message next time.

The first was easy as it's a common phrase for typing practice. I had to work at the second one and pretty much got it, but I have worked with GP's who are known for awful handwriting. We had one (lovely) GP who couldn't read his own handwriting.

Its not very clear writing, partly because you tail off before finishing your words, inspection, deformation and corrosion, do not have the last three letters properly written, there are no visible 'n's at the ends of those words. It looks like 'deformatia'.
And a lot of your letters look the same the C of Check and L of Lifting is the same and very similar to the E. Corrosion could easily be Erosion if you dodn't know what you were saying.

I also have difficult handwriting if i write quickly and have to purposfully slow down if I need someone else to read it.

Yeh - I managed most of the second piece but read erosion rather than corrosion and couldn't get actuators at all.
I suppose context might help.
I can usually read most things, so I'm afraid your writing is pretty bad.
