If a picture is a thousand words why do we keep on writing?

Answer 1

Sometimes 1,000 words paint a lovely picture. Good writing should do just that - "show, don't tell."

Answer 2

You do.
The advertisement featured a picture of a pain sufferer with the slogan "One picture is worth a thousand words." It went on to suggest thei product would help.

Answer 3

Its just each person will interpret the picture in different 1000 words. So, without writing you will think of something looking at the picture, I will think something different, and third will understand completely different. Therefore, we have to use common symbols to correctly communicate ourselves to each other.

Answer 4

Its not meant literally it simply means you can look at a picture and get so much more from the image than you could from a written description.

Answer 5

words come easier than drawings. Besides some of us can only draw stick figures. Ain't no fun in that when you can pour a torrent of words onto empty pages.

Answer 6

i can't draw, im ok with stick men, but horses, dogs and any other 4 legged animals look the same, they all look like a child of about 4 trying to draw! all i can say...its a good job i'm not a artist!

Answer 7

Thats because those 1000 words don't necessarily make any sense!

Answer 8

Because myyyyyyyyyyyyyy mouse kkkkeeeeeeeeepsssss sssssstiiiccckkkinngggggggggg.

Answer 9

Because we did not reach 1000 words yet. :-)

Answer 10

because we love to write - if we painted nothing would be said
