Try reading a Doctor's shorthand writing.

Prescription for that ailment:

"OK doc, you make the prescription legible and I'll make the check legible."

Shorthand writing is part of the curriculum that a med student takes. Also, anybody who is a nurse, psychologist, etc...Heck, I even took the course. It's no secret.

http://simple.wikipe...dical_shorthand

There are many aspects of this known to the non-medical public,

but aside from that their handwriting generally sucks.

I'd be surprised they haven't developed software to spit out a readable prescription for printing

(with or without medical shorthand).

Some doctor's do use computer generated prescription forms and all they have to do is sign them.

The sad part is, those were probably all written by folks who's native language is English. <_<

Whose.

Who's = contraction of "who is."

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect awl the weigh

My chequer tolled me sew.
