They really cannot read … paragraphs (or) sentences that are connected," says Sheida White, a researcher at the U.S. Education Department.
The findings come from the department's National Assessment of Adult Literacy, a survey of more than 19,000 Americans ages 16 and older. The 2003 survey is a follow-up to a similar one in 1992 and for the first time lets the public see literacy rates as far down as county levels.

The UN probably uses a very generous definition of literacy. The US govt surveys are obviously more accurate.

Why are they more accurate?

I don't know, you tell me, since you obviously have a habit of telling people (retarded) things.

If you don't know, then why are you pasting it? Just showing your cut and paste capabilities and how little you actually know? Definitely a typical local school type, exam smart but clueless about what they actually said.

I am trying to decide whether you are a human being, donkey or monkey. Your intellegiene profile doesn't fit that of a human. Donkey...well maybe. Most probably monkey. Are you smart enough to peel a banana?

Those pesky, silly Americans.
United States of Amereca: 1 in 7 can't read!
But then you prove yourself to be semi-literate at best . . .
One word of advice . . . if you're going to try to take the mickey out of someone it would be a good idea to proof-read your title.

The gods above wonder why you love picking a fight. Fracas ad infinitum, little boy. Grow up. You forgot that most Americans read their dollars over well. SMS is a senior so, show respect please, or try to juggle the balls. I mean, this is Singapore, right?
