Answer 1

I agree with Enrique, but it isn’t just about English. It’s important to know how to read in any culture you want to understand for yourself. Reading and writing let us communicate without being one-to-one in time and space. Though I don’t read well any more in the “extra” languages I’ve studied, I still read better than I can just listen, because I can take my time and look up words I don’t recognize. There are also clues in the ways sentences are constructed, sometimes as subtle as the joke about the panda bear that eats shoots and leaves. If you just hear that sentence, you might think all of the last three words (leaving out and) are verbs. But if you see it written, you know that three verbs in a series would need commas to separate them, so the one verb is eats, and shoots and leaves are the parts of eucalyptus plants that a panda eats.

Of course, my favorite comma joke is Let’s eat, Grandpa.
