Natural language processing is largely focused on written text processing. However, many computational linguists tacitly endorse myths about the nature of writing. We highlight two of these myths{---}the conflation of language and writing, and the notion that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing is ideographic{---}and suggest how the community can dispel them.
