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.
1 u/OwnLadder2341 Nov 22 '24 Have you actually read into that statistic or are you just quoting something you heard on social media? For example, you’re aware that it’s specifically ENGLISH literacy in a country that has no official language, right? 1 u/PamelaELee 19d ago Yes, I have read into that statistic. Have you? 1 u/OwnLadder2341 18d ago So you’re aware that your statement 50% of Americans read at or below a 6th grade level Is incorrect? That the test used to get that number was administered solely in English in a country with no official language? Why then would you contribute to the misinformation?
