BULLSHIT!!! Stop lying. Who the fuck are you even talking about? Who are these people who participate in this economy, work their jobs, get paid, spend the money they make, but CAN’T READ. And no, I’m not talking about people from a third-world country but Americans and have been from the beginning. And the use of the word “often” is strong because 79% of US adults are literate. Stop making shit up just to argue.
I’m not angry but I don’t believe a word you say. Literacy rate in the US is high. It could be better but don’t say they “often can’t read” just to argue. And if you do have friends who can’t read then you’re pretty shitty for not helping them learn to read. Everyone I know knows how to read except the children too young for school.
I’d like to point out that I specifically said I’m talking about Americans.
Edit: I just looked into this. World bank says literacy rate in Colombia is above 90%. So you say it’s 90% illiterate. Can you provide evidence for your claim?

I’m literally friends with people like this, why are you so angry? It’s Christmas.

@Eezyville @feedum_sneedson Just want to point out that I’m from Colombia, a third-world country, and 92% of people here are literate.
Happy Christmas from England!

That means 21% can’t read. Not to mention that 50% read at below a 6th grade level.
