I keep reading this, so I assume it must be true, but I wonder what that says about our society. There must be huge numbers of illiterates out their pointing and grunting (like something in Idioctracy) to outweigh all the folks I know, who don't watch videos and don't understand why people would.
- emodendroket 9y agoIt doesn't exactly flatter our education system to look into this stuff: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/06/illiteracy-rate_n_3880355.html https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/06/illiteracy-rate_n_... > According to a study conducted in late April by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read.
