More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.
High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.
I wonder why is everyone posting random letter-combinations on Lemmy, it seems fun and definitely gives me those dopamine boosts. It seems like they have these spaces in between, and together it almost looks like a picture! I dont understand it, and im sure nobody else does, but Like, it's fun right? These glyphs on this imaginary beykoard thingy just suddenly appear on your screen when you click on them, and you can just make these funny big chunks of texts! So many goodlooking combinations!
