    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.
