from and represented speech, albeit imperfectly Even

today there are spoken languages that have no written

form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn

to write Any human child who is not severely handicapped

physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human

being cannot be prevented from doing so

On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write;

in the past many intelligent and useful members of society

write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills

do so only imperfectly
