I don't remember where I read it cause few years ago, but summarized, it said that 30-40% of Americans are functionally illiterate. I might also be confusing it with the number of unlicensed drivers, but either way, holy shit my country is cooked.
Unesco and more organitations say my country are 100% literate and know is not, I read countries like USA, France and UK dont take literate rates because they consider rich equal education, so maybe you right
One time in high school I said the word ejaculation and nobody knew what I meant.
