Question above is pretty blunt but was doing a study for a college course and came across that stat. How is that possible? My high school sucked but I was well equipped even with that sub standard level of education for college. Obviously income is a thing but to think 1 out of 5 American adults is categorized as illiterate is…astounding. Now poor media literacy I get, but not this. Edit: this was from a department of education report from 2022. Just incase people are curious where that comes from. It does also specify as literate in English so maybe not as grim as I thought.

    Okay I was actually able to follow that, you did a much better job of keeping one faint shred of coherent thought in there (barely).

    Unfortunately that thought was you either being a troll or a dumbass (my money’s on troll). Either way, I’m out chief, enjoy the rest of your day.

          The term term is a term you never specified . In terms of clarity you’re the joke.
