non-legible :) heheheh...
I am not laughing. I think that is one of the cutest mistakes I have seen in quite some time :)))

of course, the real word is "illegible"

if you are wondering, illegible handwriting in slangy conversational American English is called chicken-scratch.
e.g. "I can't read this. It's just a bunch of chicken-scratch."

Also, sometimes, if we are feeling good that day, we might say,
"I can't make heads or tails of this/I can't read this/I can't make it/this out. It's written in Doctor."

суперский пост! спасибо за просвещение!

только non-legible - это не ошибка. это legalese. документы были составлены уважаемой юр. конторой в Лондоне. думаю они так бы не опростоволосились. хотя, кто знает?

про illegible все понятно.

OK, so if it's legalese, that's fine. I will keep it in mind.

But, Alexis a.k.a. Althea, what I posted was not just cutSIE giggles - but indeed actual (in another context, but actual) and, I think the asker appreciated the extra knowledge (and I hope you do as well).

Nina79, I surely appreciated the knowledge. Keep it up and maintain the positive mental attitude that you have demonstated! Thanx!

For those doubters a.k.a believers - it never hurts to check

cutesie/cutesey = alternative spellings, both acceptable

ok, so there are two ways to spell it. good. now we all know.

and as to "haste makes waste": i already said that i was convinced that you can use it for purposes of legalese so, i think the point is kind of moot, don't you?

Girls, take a deep breath! Do not waste your time arguing. Just make yourself a nice cup of coffee and get back to making more dough (or whatever you were busy doing).

Thank you all for being so meticulous. Just avoid being too donnish. Cheers!
