Definitions

The worship of writing

uncountable

Examples

“Making a distinction between linking R when it's written and linking R when it's not written is sensible in describing the history of English or explaining what's going on to, say, confused English learners. But as far as contemporary phonology is concerned, linking R is all one thing. The condemnation of the unwritten kind is based on grapholatry, the worship of writing.”
