In the domain of the activity, the exact meaning of 'to write' is quite clear, never mind the fact that I would still dispute copying and pasting to be you writing, even if I might concede that you still might say something was writing. And I never denied it was possible to cheat with pen and paper: this is why I've told you to show me a copy to judge whether it's authentic or not. I'm still waiting :) -- Tristan
