Things people write (8)
I believe the answer is:
articles
'things' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for articles that I've seen before include "Legal apprenticeship" , "Recitals about particular things" , "Recitals for newspaper pieces" , "Recitals (anag.)" , "printed" .)
