Why people don't write
I am sure there are plenty of EXCUSES people don't write.
I can make up things to excuse myself from doing lots of different things all day and I do!
One of the main reasons people don't write is because I don't think they think of it as an art form. I very rarely see it mentioned /compared to an art form but indeed it is.
I was taking a thinking about Pablo Picasso which is a well known artist who is known for abstract art.
I was thinking about what if there were an abstract type of writing. (In today's world it wouldn't surprise me if it already exists).
The question isn't whether it is already exists yet though the question is do people know about it?
If they don't know / haven't thought about it then most people probably don't think / haven't thought much about writing being an art form. There could be some other conclusions as well...but in general I don't recall writing being mentioned as an art form much of my childhood. I realize that I am one dot in the world and I could be completely off but I am sticking with this assumption for now =D.
P.S.
Poetry seems to be referenced in terms of writing as the "Artistic" way of writing. At least in my mind that is where I would probably fit it.
Glad I have come to the realization that writing is an Art.
Off track question...
If people don't know about something does it matter if it exists? This question is for another time.

English needs new words!
It seems to me that the world is in need of new words (at least English does). A lot of the new words that have been canonized (added to the dictionary) recently have been pretty lame and not particularly useful.
To me there are many instances in life that are just not very well defined but happen to everyone from time to time.
Instead of having a word to describe them we just chuck them off into a pile of something and just attribute it to "forgetfulness" or "miss communication" and just forget all about them until they occur again.
For example last night me and my wife were going somewhere and I needed to bring along something to where we were going.
So I placed the object down between both of us for some reason in my mind the matter was resolved. I guess unconsciously I may have thought by my putting it where I put it maybe she would pick it up.
When this similar type of event (quarterback and running back think each other has the ball) happens in football it is referred to as a fumble but even then there are different types of fumbles but we usually just refer to most of them as fumbles (Butt fumble is currently the only other fumble type that I am aware of and that is because I am sure ESPN spent millions rebroadcasting it over and over and over again).
A lot of miss communication I think could be reduced by condensing events down into new words that accurately define the an event.
