The New York Times wants to see your bad handwriting, for possible use in an article about grown-ups whose handwriting has gone awry. Here’s my contribution, sent today.
As I told the Times, my handwriting declines when I’m writing notes to myself for future reference. I often find that what was readable in the moment is unreadable, or nearly so, later on. When I’m writing for other eyes, my handwriting — sometimes printing, sometimes cursive — is still pretty spiffy.
Can you decipher what’s written here?

Call for bad handwriting

It was on the Fox network
The woman with the spiked hair
My best guess!
Pretty close!
It was the Food Network.
Trying to figure out who uses the word “crud” (in a good way) for the semi-solid stuff on the bottom of a pan. It’s Anne Burrell.
Oh, of course~ FOOD network. I wondered if you were tormenting yourself, doing research on Fox...
(My handwriting has deteriorated, but my typing skills are ace!)
P.S. I wonder if I could decipher your handwriting (pretty closely, anyway) because I know you--have seen your public handwriting on cards and such.
But I wonder if I could read a total stranger's.
No Fox! Only crud from pans.
I just found an index card that is truly unreadable, but I hesitate to post it, as I have no idea, really, what it says. (It must be months and months old.)
Let's see it!
Sorry, no, because I (literally) have no idea what it says. Unsafe at any speed!
I found one that looks safe and made a new post with a photo. Good luck!
Well, it couldn't be anything bad like Ye has been writing!
But I hear ya.
