Only 55 out of 100 people can read it because nearly half of the people are not good readers. Probably because they were taught that spelling doesn't matter because "the human mind doesn't work that way."
Too many people are not getting the point of the passage "The Kingdom of Kay Oss." It wasn't written to prove "the power of the human mind," it was written to prove the necessity of rules for written communication. There is no solution for the last sentence. It's chaos!
It is trying to make the point that if you don't have rules for communication then people will not be able to communicate.
As for people thinking that rules for spelling are not important: Send 1000 children to a school system that follows the philosphy that learning to spell isn't important as long as the first and last letter are correct. At the same time, send 1000 children to a school system that follows a more traditional philosophy of education. Which school do you think will have the more successful students in college and careers after 13 years?
Please, we need to get back to the basics!
