don't yankees already have terrible reading comprehension?
83% literacy rate for adults iirc
It's really bad
Even that seems high tbh
When i was a teen one of my friends called a classmate "A poster child for childhood obesity" and he responded "What the fuck are you calling me a poster for?"
All westerners do. 89% of western adults read at level 3 or lower on the literacy scale (functional literacy or lower). Literacy is level 4. You only need to score 65% to reach that level.
