    Functional illiteracy is a different measure than illiteracy. You are talking about functional illiteracy, and proved such with your examples.

    It’s a fairly important distinction tbh.

      Isn’t part of the US illiterate population perfectly literate in a language other than English?

        No, unless it specifies that they’re illiterate in English. Otherwise, everyone is illiterate since they can’t read every single language on Earth.
