Une barrière tarifaire, selon Washington | La loi 96 sur le français, « c’est non négociable », dit Legault
www.lapresse.ca

La loi 96 du gouvernement Legault apparaît sur l’écran radar des Américains, qui la considèrent maintenant comme une barrière tarifaire à l’approche de l’annonce potentielle de droits de douane tous azimuts. Mais la défense du français, « c’est non négociable », tranche François Legault.

    21% of Americans are illiterate.

    54% have a literacy BELOW A SIXTH GRADE LEVEL.

    Are you smarter than a 5th grader was a rhetorical question.

    (For the 54% a rhetorical question is … fuckit nevermind.)

        It does vary slightly by year/source, but not much. Overall is around 80% literate. ~54% at 6th grade level and below. And ~20 functionally illiterate.

          That’s depressing. I found it’s 4% of illiterate for the 18-64 years old who started school in France. https://www.anlci.gouv.fr/ressources/les-nouveaux-chiffres-de-lillettrisme-en-france-avril-2024/
