One good thing is most of those "adults can't read" things don't take into account that many adults can read just fine...in spanish, or their otherwise native language, but get counted for these because their english reading is less than 6th grade.

Still too damn many english-as-a-first-languagers can't read either, but usually less than the scary numbers suggest for america.

Yeah, I saw some arguments about that and I'm not sure how to unconfound the data. Meant to look into it more but haven't yet

I see the sarcasm indicator, I just don't get it. Is it because you know that is the correct usage but its science/stats language so it's like speaking Spanish?

Because they cant understand and back sense of the written word

Oh I get it now. Since they were talking about data it wasn't clicking for me.
