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.

How are your reading skills?

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.

What is this? Some gibirish? I can understand english not this!

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.
