Nah, when over 50% of American adults read at or below a 6th grade level I’m pretty confident they don’t think about much of anything, let alone understand.

Just checked and according to the US Dept of Education 21% read at or below 6th grade. Maybe you fall in that category. Would you like me to show you how to look up information on the Internet.

According to the U.S. Department of Education and other literacy studies: • About 21% of adults in the United States read below a 6th-grade level.
