unreadable vs illegible

[Lilish]

Hi ;
What is the difference between :unreadable and illegible?

Hi,

'Unreadable' could means simply that you can't read it because of the handwriting or whatever or that it's badly written from a language point of view. 'Illegible' means that you can't read it because of the script/handwriting. I'm glad I'm typing this and you would be too because my handwriting is very difficult to read - sometimes I can't make it out later myself!
