Comments on: “Human Readers” A Tautology? http://www.dailywritingtips.com/%e2%80%9chuman-readers%e2%80%9d-a-tautology/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:29:22 +0000 hourly 1 By: Richard Lee Van Der Voort http://www.dailywritingtips.com/%e2%80%9chuman-readers%e2%80%9d-a-tautology/comment-page-1/#comment-344813 Richard Lee Van Der Voort Wed, 22 Dec 2010 14:47:42 +0000 http://www.dailywritingtips.com/?p=4260#comment-344813 Interesting to see that someone read something I wrote. "Human readers", yes, sounds like something I would say or write. During my many, many years of life and writing, I became known for my neologisms and odd or poetic expressions including strange phrases that meant something to me or something I intended to mean at the time I wrote them. Writing is and has been an interesting thing to do because I like to address a subject and see what I have to say. I'm often surprised. LOL Richard Lee Van Der Voort AKA Old dog, American ex-pat in da Pilippines... as they say here. Interesting to see that someone read something I wrote.

Reading is nothing more than symbol recognition, processing the adjacent symbols or lack of same to determine meaning in order and context.
