I mean, technically it's not my business, and they're free to just do whatever on their character sheet, but do you ever just see that and wonder about them? Like, mentally? How can you play a game that requires so much information, and then just choose to ignore half of that information even if you're playing a campaign where it keeps coming up?

Just because my handwriting is shit doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.

Don't worry gm.
I have everything in my head.

Y'know all those things that you can't read?
They change more often than the ones you can. This means that they are constantly rubbing them out and changing them.
It's why I print out new character sheets for any character I control when they level.

>scribbles
One man's chicken-scratch is another man's handwriting.
I have to concentrate to make sure I don't write an illegible mess whenever I'm doing reports at work, and if I want to write something down as quickly as I can, my handwriting devolves into a mess of connected loops and squiggles that pretty much no one else besides myself can understand.
What you're probably seeing is that, a hastily jotted note that the player can read just fine. Why should it matter if anyone else can read it, it's his sheet.

This.
My character sheets always used to have scrawled notes in the margins for inventory and XP.
It is SO much easier to play games in the digital age, at least when your handwriting is illegible. Nowadays I can just type it all out in notepad, or use a program to automate it all.
It also solves the issues with rounding errors that plague maths done by hand.
Personality is never anything I write down. It's hard to express it in words, so I don't bother.

I have writing that looks like I threw up a bunch of barcodes, I do just fine.
