Question above is pretty blunt but was doing a study for a college course and came across that stat. How is that possible? My high school sucked but I was well equipped even with that sub standard level of education for college. Obviously income is a thing but to think 1 out of 5 American adults is categorized as illiterate is…astounding. Now poor media literacy I get, but not this. Edit: this was from a department of education report from 2022. Just incase people are curious where that comes from. It does also specify as literate in English so maybe not as grim as I thought.
@toosoon You must be ill-informed, quite biased and in favour of Québec bashing. The government has English translations available for its minority in “La belle province”. Educate yourself. The information is out there.

That’s all well and good, until you read about bill 96…
I’m a frog, kiss me. Bill 96 is excellent as tabled . I don’t need to wait. If you’re not happy with it, do like me and GTFO . You are ROC material to light up the culture war. Join them and you will feel more at home. You must be too illiterate to be able to read between the line or fucking blind.
I’m sorry I genuinely could not follow most of that word salad. Care to try again, preferably in English this time?
Speak White, you say. Hmm… … bigot! That is why we will never cross the cultural divide between the two solitudes in canada if on either side we refuse to acknowledge our differences.
Feel free to speak in whatever ethnicity you want so long as type out a full sentence with at least a hint of what your point is trying to be.
The problem with your last comment isn’t slang words or grammar, it was a complete lack of logical flow and endless run-on sentences with no point to be found anywhere.
I bet that the English cucumber in my French salad leaves you speechless. You’re killing me pointlessly with your words.
Are you translating french idioms into english and expecting it to make sense?
No and it wouldn’t make any difference in any language anyhow. Even less in your neck of the woods.
