Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Take solace in knowing that literacy rates are the highest they've ever been in history, the fact that most words are correct is an incredible feat.
Most people think how they speak rather than how they write, which means homophones are quite difficult for the average person, and near impossible without thinking about it hard and remembering the rule every time if you're dyslexic.
Global literacy, probably. But I think functional reading/literacy has been falling behind in most Western democracies, especially America.
And that's not the fault of individuals, but of a failing education system.
Blaming individuals for what is a systemic failure could make them less receptive to change.
