The word for 24.11.09 is WRITING

Todays word is WRITING. I have a question..Does the printed word count as writing? I have come to the conclusion it doesn't. We write something, then it can be printed or typed, it is the way l see writing. Some of you may disagree with me, would be interesting if anyone is reading this, could you tell me what you think?!
I had chosen the first image and then l began to think about the word ...so changed my image! cheating l suppose but hey..they are my rules...so l can break them. Ha!
