I have a new nickname!

ワープロ馬鹿

I should be a doctor, with my handwriting.

TBF, my handwriting sucked before I started using computers, but they didn't help.

My entire family has awful penmanship (and it's an Ivy-league family). I used to dread trying to decipher my mother's notes.

This isn’t about quality or legibility of handwriting. When wiring 馬鹿 on a computer you type the 4 characters “baka” (or the two character ばか” if your phone supports Lana input) and get an autocomplete drop-down with the kanji.
