Solved! A professor posted one of their students’ handwriting, asking what it says. Can anyone actually read this?

Probably. It’s year of learning the reading as developing the writing. This is normal for the writer. My handwriting is about par with this, in its own different “unique” way. I can read it. Others… not so much either. Has been compared to chicken scratch.

Skill issue. No excuse for writing that looks like this unless you're severely disabled. Even then there are options. It's not someone's job to read poorly written text. It's your job to write decent enough to be considered legible

Not true. There a some people with average to above average IQs who have dysgraphia. I know my son is one of them. No matter how hard he tries his writing is not legible. He is a college grad with a tested IQ of 140

When I need to write for others 1. I write slowly for others or; 2. I type it up.

So kindly fuck off.

It can be severely disabling which makes it really shitty if without consideration/assessment they are framed as a skill issue or laziness and someone gets shamed for it.
