    you have a strange definition of illiteracy. I spent a fair amount of my time working in poverty an literacy education. that “most” you define as illiterate would have to be approximately defined as “does not have a bachelors degree” for your numbers to be even close to accurate. it’s closer to 0.5-1%, and that depends on whether we are talking exclusively about English literacy.
