> 1. Writing and lingustics are fundamentally different and while serve similar goals, it's important to think about them separately[1]. Basically all human groups create spoken language but we only know of 1 (I think) time a phonetic writing system appeared. There is some limit how well writing can help you communicate with spoken word, but it's probably pretty far out. I think the OP meant to write as a way of organizing your thoughts. Writing is a form of self-dialogue. You put words on a page and attempt to capture the concept you are thinking about. Seeing those words in front of you allows you to reflect on the thought you have produced, you can examine it, modify it, come back to it after some time, respond to it. Dialogue with others is certainly more effective for correcting and properly constructing your thoughts but writing has the advantage that you can do it alone and at any time. It allows you to practice ordered thinking more frequently than you would be able to otherwise. When you do get a chance to speak with another person, if you have spent time writing about the topic you will be speaking about, the ideas you communicate to them will be more fully formed and logical.
