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

[Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast]

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

I pretty much taught myself. I am left handed and can't write across the page over my writing because it's always been really painful. So I turn my paper sideways and write down towards myself iyswim. Which always got me in trouble at school!

Hell no. 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤫

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 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.

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

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 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.

It's a lot better than mine!

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!

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

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

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.

We all chipped in and bought you this.

As a fellow leftie.... all I have to say is wtf!! That's impressive and confusing and the same time

I can't say I've ever found writing painful, apart from I squeeze the pen too hard and have a permanent dent in my middle finger. I also can't really get my head around right-handers because they write 'away' from the words in a pull motion, whereas I only know pushing into the letters (and smudging what I've just written).

At school there was a couple of left-handers that would curl their arm up and over the page, bending their hand round so their fingers were on the lines above what they were writing. Essentially doing the right-handed pull motion but with their left hand.

Does any of that make sense, or do I need another coffee...

I can read it easily but I hate it

I'm a retired teacher. Latterly, I had many pupils who could not - or would not - read joined up handwriting. (Everything had to be typed out or hand printed.) My suspicion is that your husband has a similar issue.

Both of your options mean you are correct.
You are not correct.
Reading more than one or two sentences in this handwriting would be quite tiresome, plus we know what this is meant to say once we read the first few words.

Sorry OP, I also agree with your husband. I read doctors' handwriting as a significant part of my job, and I still couldn't make out "corrosion" and "actuators".

PS also left-handed. I had a fountain pen at school and my whole time was spent trying not to smudge what I'd just written as I never figured out how to do that "round the top" writing thing that other lefties did.

Sorry @Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast but that's illegible

I worked in an archive for many years, deciphering handwriting was a bit like unraveling knitting but you get used to it.

tell him to practice more

You don’t write like a doctor. It doesn’t have that slapdash quality. Your Cs and Os can be confusing.

Sorry, but after your second post I have to agree with your husband.
