Some kind of dysgraphia. You've been a notably bad speller since I've been here (nt)

I will cite you only under case study restrictions.

They may have issues with:

Letter formation and/or legibility. I had a teacher who made me stop writing in cursive in 8th grade because she couldn’t read it. But I don’t think I have especially bad handwriting compared to alot of people. I have worse problems with cursive letter formation now, but that’s probably because I rarely use it.
Letter size and spacing.
Spelling.
Fine motor coordination. - Kind? I’ve always been especially bad at sports, like catching balls and shooting baskets. In everyday life I don’t have issues.
Rate or speed of writing.
Grammar.
Composition. - I didn’t find it this as difficult when I was still in school as I do now.

Specific ways dysgraphia can present include:

Difficulties writing in a straight line.
Difficulties with holding and controlling a writing tool.
Writing letters in reverse.
Having trouble recalling how letters are formed.
Having trouble knowing when to use lower or upper case letters.
Struggling to form written sentences with correct grammar and punctuation. - I’ve always used too many commans and parenthetical breaks. I remember in college when we had to read each other’s papers and someone said that all the parentheses made my writing look like programing text.
Omitting words from sentences.
Incorrectly ordering words in sentences.
Using verbs and pronouns incorrectly.
