Does "Speak and understand" in the spell description for Tongues mean that you can read any language while the spell is on? Write it?

Planar binding something that can write the lanhguae you want, otherwise spend the skill points or get the help of someone who speaks the language.UltimaGabe said:So, now, is there any spell that allows you to write in a language you don't know?
Because everyone claims that Tongues lets you speak and understand any language, but supposedly that only applies to speaking, not writing/reading. (Which, in my opinion, is garbage, since it's three levels higher than Comprehend Languages. Why does it not encompass Comprehend Languages too?) And Comprehend Languages only lets you understand languages, it doesn't let you speak them. So, what do you do if you need to write a letter in Draconic?

I'd 'waste' the skill point(s) - unless you have reason to assume you won't be encountering orcs often in the future...krissbeth said:Okay, now all I have to do is decide whether to waste a spell known on "Comprehend Languages" or waste a skill point on Orcish.
