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.
That’s enraging because there is a reason we have a phonetic alphabet and not cuneiform.
Cuneiform was also at least partially phonetic.
Woah. Thats really cool and I always assumed they were just hieroglyphs but older. Is there anything else u know about them? You sound really cute and knowledgable UwU
Haha. I’m not hugely knowledgeable about cuneiform, I’m not an archaeologist or anything. Actually, I only know that because I have a friend who is learning to write it because he’s a fun weird guy.
What a cool guy
We love fun, weird friends that learn fun, weird things. :)
