In Dylan Dryer’s article, “Writing is Not Natural” he talks about the difference between speech and writing. Speech comes naturally to both humans and animals. However, writing is a complex system of inscriptions and symbols used to translate speech into a thought. Dryer also says that writing is learned and culturally influenced, while speech is natural. The text also discusses the challenges of writing, such as pronunciation and spelling. However, understanding these limitations can help writers to be more forgiving of the complications that come with the idea of writing as a technology.
