Over the years there have been numerous international studies on illiteracy, all showing the same trend for the U.S. -- "Is our children learning?"
Currently, about 120 million adults in the U.S. are illiterate or read no better than at a fifth-grade level -- lacking the skills to handle many everyday tasks and read printed material such as credit cards, bus schedules, prescription labels and popcorn instructions.
If by simply acknowledging this fact is equal to calling someone's mother fat (as Mr. Z alluded to), well then, so be it -- your mother is a fat pig, (she probably ate too much popcorn ;^)
