More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.
High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.
when I read it, i feel like I know why technical documentation is so stupid and obtuse instead of clear and obvious.
tech people generally have a poor grasp of how to communicate information effectively, let alone in a style that isn't tedious and boring.
everytime i read a technical document I ask myself who the hell wrote this and what the hell were they thinking. then i re-write it for my employees in a way that is actually understandable and applicable to reality, instead of paragraphs and paragraphs of self-referencing jargon.
