That’s… horrifying. I had no idea it was that high. I have to wonder how anyone can be illiterate, after watching my kids learn to read, and how little effort it took (on my part I mean, they were putting effort into it, because they wanted to)

I should point out that a portion of the stat comes from immigrants who are fully literate in their native language.

National literacy as a topic forms an interesting picture that I don’t fully understand.

Yeah the data is kinda fucky cause of that, this has always been a factor too one of my ancestors spoke decent English but could only read and write in German he was considered technically illiterate.
