I didn't see any other thread asking you this question, so forgive me if there is. For me, my choice is Claudia. Gosh, that girl! How did she make it eighth grade with spelling like that?! Always cracked me up: Dear Mom and Dad, who are you? lmao. But it was kinda a pain in the ass to read. My second choice would be Jessi. Geez, you would think she was writing with a feather quill and bottle of ink by the formality of her handwriting. Lol, I can see it now, Jessi wearing a huge medieval gown with a feather quill and bottle of ink, hunched over the notebook in Claud's room with everyone else staring at her like what the heck are you doing?! haha.

I actually don't mind any of them. I know I have favorites but I can't think of which ones right now. I know Claud's spelling does give me a good laugh. ;D

I have trouble readiing Jessi and Claudia's writing. They are both terrible. Claudia's spelling doesn't bother me that much, I can ususally figure it out. But the writing... gahhhhhh

Jessi's was the one who gave me the most trouble as a kid. But now Claudia's just bug me. I can understand what she's saying, but the mistakes are so over the top.

Claudia's, just because it makes me feel dumber while struggling through it.

I voted for Jessi. It's just hard for me to understand her entries sometimes,because of her handwriting. Claudia's entries bugs me too ;D

Don't you mean Caludia? Jessi had old lady handwriting that was really hard to read, and Stacey's heart-dotted "i"s always bothered me. But Claud's were just so hard to follow, especially in the later books when the ghostwriters went crazy with the stereotype. I think Ann/the ghostwriters did a real disservice to kids who actually had learning disabilities by claiming Claud didn't have one and just needed to work harder. I don't have an LD, but my brother has dysgraphia. Before they figured it out, my mom would make him spend hours practicing writing on bump-touch paper, with few results apart from frustration and yelling on both sides. Claud being dyslexic would have made much more overall sense, and would probably have resonated with some of the readers.

Whenever I read Claudia's I sometimes had to go over it twice and re read. Claudia's always gave me a laugh though.

If spelling counts, Claudias sometimes bothered me and often Jessi's and MA's. MA's weren't usually very funny, either, while Jessi's and Claud's tended to be. This is a hard one to decide. ;D

Claudia's notebook enteries never really bothered me because they were usually short and you can just skip over the misspelled words and figure out what Claud was trying to say from the context clues... but Jessi's and Mary Anne's... agh, the whole thing's loopy and hard to read.

^ That's how I felt about them, but I often liked the content of Jessi's so struggled through them.

Yeah, I agree, maddieruns, it is really hard to pick out Mary Anne's and Jessi's. I just voted for Claudia's because of all the errors! Geez. Okay, so it was funny.. but still! lol. Btw, thanks everyone for voting
