LOL I see what you're saying, but I think she/he (dunno din't look) means you need to know how to walk before you can run. Haven't read any of this thread so dunno the context.

As much as I love reading, writing is most probably a bigger love.

However, the quality of my writing depends on how much I read.
If I haven't read in a while, my writing suffers.

What came first, reading or writing? LOL

You can argue that reading isn't neccesary words, but an analysis of something that means something else. Symbols are just a common standard.

correction:

Reading and writing are complementary processes. Once we see how we, as readers, find meaning on the page -- what we look for and how we think about what we find -- we can employ that knowledge to our advantage in our writing. We can edit our writing to assure patterns of content and language that will lead our reader to the desired inferences.
