Ayup. It's tough. (Especially knowing that 90% of the time there's no reviewer to provide a second opinion on these squiggles.)

I'll say this though, when it comes to reading the old Gothic squiggles, "Übung macht den meister"--and we're certainly getting a lot of übung on this project...

But then, every once in a blue moon, I'll get a set from the 1880's, and its like a breath of fresh air. And to think, once upon a time I thought *that* handwriting was tough.
