Do you know what the proportion of native English speakers vs non-native speakers is in the US?
It doesn't diminish your point, but probably that non-native speakers skew the stats a bit if they are included in the stat.
Kinda. If we’re talking about who can participate in the workforce or online conversations, being literate in the dominant language equals “being literate”.
Makes sense. I was asking because the links were talking about the English language. But considering that this is the working language, it doesn't really matter in the end if the person is a native speaker or not. If they can't hold a basic conversation or read simple instructions, it makes their life harder no matter what.
