See the correct use of quotation marks above.Can I say:
His handwriting is "awful" or "careless" or "illegible" or "scratchy" or "sloppy" or "scribbled"?
The original sentence is ungrammatical. Did you write it yourself?
I'd say 'His handwriting is so poor that I can't read it', or 'His handwriting is awful/terrible/illegible; I can't read it'.
