The point of writing is to put your ideas on paper using language so that
they can be reread (basically). The two important parts of writing are
language and idea. Without *both* of them you have no writing. Therefore,
if someone doesn't want to learn the conventions of a language, then they
shouldn't be writing with it. Right?
