It says a lot that the illegible writing killed people yet appears to be affected by doctors in the same manner as a bimbo uses a vocal fry affectation.

Glad to see my scripts from the doctor these days are typed not written.

"Vocal fry" is a term some people made up to sound fancy. Actual linguists call it what it is: creaky voice. And they don't denigrate it. Men do it just as much as women, and there is (of course) no correlation with intelligence.

It is a very lazy stereotype, and (of course) completely wrong, to associate "vocal fry" with "bimbos".
