Do people in France have flags on their cars? Do they sell clothing with the flag for Zimbabwe everywhere? Do people dress as their country’s mascot for every day events?

    OP’s being a smart ass, but I recently learned that their statement is true, for a certain value of “read”.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States

    There is much literature (heh) that quotes the same numbers, or near enough. So yeah, I’m going to say most Americans can’t read. And BTW, this is one of the most shocking truths I’ve learned in life.
