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

I jotted down some notes for my husband and he said I write like a doctor 😂

Aibu to say he is wrong and my handwriting is fine. (Also, anyone want to show theirs?)

YANBU - he's wrong.
YABU - he's not right.

No that was not a mistake.

I think it's perfectly legible. However, I am known at work for the person who can read most handwriting (it's part of the job)! I don't know what that says about me 😂

This. You'd be better off showing us some random writing and not a common set piece

Sorry, cross posts. Your husband has a point

HomeTheatreSystem · 07/11/2024 11:54

No, not perfectly legible by a long stretch.

I can read it easily..... probably cos that was the warm up exercise in typing lessons in the 80's!!! 😉

It’s not completely illegible but it isn’t easy to read.

Pixiedust1234 · 07/11/2024 11:51

I did vote that it was legible but after reading your second note I couldn't read it all. I couldn't read (or guess) corrosion or the word after lifting.

Ultimately, even if you could eventually read it all, it's down to how easily and quickly it can be read too.

Bbq1 · 07/11/2024 11:49

Visual inspection of bed for wear, deformation, - - - - - and damage. Check lifting activators both ends.

So, just one word I can't read, although I did have to really concentrate when deciphering it. Generally legible.

Well OK. If you promise. 😀

I couldn’t read “corrosion” and “actuators” - obv saw your typed version after. It’s ok handwriting but very curly, loopy and rounded. I might have been able to guess if i knew what you were writing about.

I got it, but (and you're not going to like this) I've got ridiculous handwriting that I've spent my whole life getting shit for lol. 'it's pretty but I can't read it' -but I can't change it!

My kids, DH & family can all read it fine but if I'm writing for anyone else I have to REALLY concentrate on making it legible & find it difficult. It's mostly uppercase but lower case slips in sometimes for reasons unknown. And if it's LC random UC appear - not wholly sure how much control I have over it, it just happens...

But!! Your hubby should be able to see what it says!!

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 07/11/2024 11:44

I mean it's pretty bad. I have never seen lazy and dog connected like that, it looks like easy dey.

My handwriting is awful by the way. I'm not allowed to write shopping lists anymore if H is going shopping. I write in cursive and am partial to a fountain pen.

Lougle · 07/11/2024 11:42

Sorry, it's 'nice' handwriting - I like the flow, but it's pretty illegible, or at least very hard to read.

Yay, I win , I win!

Edit to add: Not the easiest to read, but far from hard.

"One quille brain Leo jienpi alel the euiy dey"

Obviously this is a well known phrase and is easy to work out, but if it was random sentences from your brain it might take a while to decipher!

I still can't work out the word after "deformation". I can guess activation from context, but I haven't been able to match it letter by letter to what you have written. I'm still with your DH.

I'm with your husband here, sorry. Your handwriting is very hard to read.

Attelina · 07/11/2024 11:38

Just write in capitals when you're leaving a note for your husband.

Marblesbackagain · 07/11/2024 11:37

Sorry @Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast it's only legible because I know what it is meant to say.

DancingNotDrowning · 07/11/2024 11:37

I agree with your DH.

i can read it because I know what is supposed to say

brown = Braun

dog = day

fox = lap or fax

over, lazy and jump without context are illegible

Godoit · 07/11/2024 11:36

It's horrendous.

IsadoraQuagmire · 07/11/2024 11:35

He's clearly wrong. It obviously says, "Che quick brain poo scenes oven the lucy dey".

Hes not wrong. I have to try to read that. Clearer handwriting I would just glance at and immediatley know what it said.
