Yeah but they don’t have to be an rear end in a top hat about it, like Chris Pratt, or salivating about the animal’s euthanasia, like the goon whose name I will not reload the page to quote.

There's clear rules, and as long as those are followed by the writer and the reader, it's straightforward decoding. Same goes with decyphering historical manuscripts in paleography, at best it's not much harder than reading any other handwritten document. You get good at it with practise.

It gets more enigmatic when your now long dead scribe is using some unusual writing standard, or their pen is dry or smearing, or their hand is too tired or their candle too dim to make legible markings, or he is dyslexic or just writes words by different standards even to his period, or is a demented idiot who is just mashing misspelled words together with no consideration to grammar.

Yeah, I can read most latin & germanic cursives from the 1500s on. Most are fairly straightforward, but sometimes you get someone who was clearly not educated and joins/splits words randomly, using dialect forms, etc. Those can be tough, but usually just doing multiple passes of partial readings will get you there in the end. I have an 8 page letter written in jail by an unschooled horse thief in the 1840s that's basically stream of consciousness. Still a few words to puzzle out there..

It took about 3 weeks for them to train the cat to stop doing it and kid is now 5 and drags the cat around everywhere because they're best friends.
