It isn't so bad if you can make out the beginning of the word, but so often the initial letter is exceptionally flowery - very pretty, but quite illegible unless you already know what it says, in which case its not important! I have had capital S turn into L and T. I've had M turn into T, J turn into D etc. nell

	oh how i wish registrars used good old printing instead of fancy joined up writing, would make reading maiden surnames an awful lot easier, tracing relles would be easier too
