Half?? What the actual fuck? How can half the population of a country struggle with literacy??
Upon further inspection I found: "According to a 2020 report by the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States have prose literacy below the 6th-grade level."
Both of these statistics are absolutely unbelievable to me, I feel like almost anyone I come into contact with have prose literacy above a 6th grade level.
