  So we hear. But the world is not America and this is a British newspaper.

    To be fair I don’t think literacy rates in the UK blow the US out of the water or anything.

      I check on this. So first thing I found, literacy rates and average reading age are different things. Literacy rate, able to read at all, is clearly tracked and both countries are like 99%. Reading age seams really mushy. If you can get some numbers, please share!

        Oh I couldn’t get any hard data on reading age for the UK. Search engines are trash now.

        I bet it’s out there, but I don’t have the time to search to settle a Lemmy debate.
