Pretty easy to read. But I've spent a lifetime reading and writing abbreviations, acronyms, TAFs, METARs and PIREPS etc.

Yeah me too, but then I work for the Post Office and you should see some of the addresses we have to deal with.

My first thought was "Horrible" but I could actually read that.
But it's more of thinking of what I want to write and then actually writing it.......I hate making dumb mistakes on paperwork.

All of your spelling is correct. It's the grammar that's a bit off.
No harm really. I, for one, knew what you were saying.

It's pretty easy, actually. It's easier if the bigger, more noticeable letters (Like "T", for exemple) are in the right place.
I have a pretty undecipherable handwritting, so this phenomenon saved my life a couple times.

Easily done.
I think it's related to photographically memorizing the general way a word looks after seeing it enough.
