?Which word?

Do not confuse illegible (writing that is too unclear to read) and unreadable, which can also mean too boring or difficult to read.

Illegible (इतनी अस्पष्ट लिखावट कि पढ़ी न जा सके) और unreadable में भ्रमित न हों, क्योंकि unreadable का अर्थ बहुत नीरस या कठिन होने के कारण पढ़ने लायक न होना भी हो सकता है।
