About a third of the illiterates in the US just don’t speak English. They may be literate just fine in their native tongue, but that rate captures English literacy.
I’m not saying that that number is wrong per se but it would be better to see a curve based on age brackets
If for instance 25% of adults are over 90 then it wouldn’t be surprising if they couldn’t read properly. (Not saying that that’s true, just as an example)
