| | Writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Writing may refer to two activities: the inscribing of characters on a medium, with the intention of forming words and other constructs that represent language or record information, and the creation of material to be conveyed through written language. | | | As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language. | | | The vast array of logograms needed to write a language, and the many years required to learn them, are the major disadvantage of the logographic systems over alphabetic systems. |

| | The writing can be formed on the wall of a cave, a piece of paper, or a computer screen. | | | As their confidence and skills increase, students can use less of the framework in their writing and structure their own writing independent of teacher input. | | | Regardless of the language, writing has many rules including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. |

| | Typically, however, one will use a writing utensil (such as a pen or pencil) to write characters on paper; or a computer (or typewriter) to record characters to disk, (electromagnetic tape, CD-ROM, or other computer medium on which information can be recorded). | | | The examples which occur are very few, but the origin of bonobo "writing" seems to be analogous to the origin of human writing. | | | Writing is believed to have originated by the simple drawing of ideograms: for example, a drawing of an apple represents an apple, and a drawing of two legs may represent the concept of walking or standing. |
