Impossibility of the word part 1, 2 and 3. Writing is a cognitive process conducted according to prescriptive rules of grammar, punctuation  and syntax, usually applied without conscious effort through automatic hand–eye coordination.

But in Impossibility of the word it becomes a slow-motion wrestling match of overlapping images of a contorted author writing 
increasingly incomprehensible words on increasingly illegible text in an attempt to  pin down an obdurate adversary.  

These videos are part of a series expressing the struggle that a sufferer from severe dyslexia experiences in the use of written 
language.
