Oh please! We live in a literate society.

Mark, we seem to understand something different when we say "writing". You appear to talk about forming sentences that are more or less grammatically correct and spelled largely recognizably. I am talking about expressing a given set of facts and relations clearly and unambiguously.

In this sense, I stand by the facts that Andrew expressed about writing in his analogy, as stated in my last posting regarding this topic.

Wehn you view writing skill as mere literacy, of course the picture is different.

Jan Henning
