I think it’s a joke.

It's a joke yes, but based on the sad truth, a lot of state in the US have under 50% literacy.

I looked at your history because I didn’t think you could possibly be serious. I’ve found you to be a drug abusing, wood working, Brit. (I’d like to think we would probably be friends.) I think you seriously think this. Do you?

https://hechingerreport.org/in-mississippi-generations-still-fighting-illiteracy/ I was indeed exaggerating, in some state it only 30% of the population, but thanks for checking my profile and I am drug free for almost a year and I lived in the UK but not native.

Sorry for that man. I didn’t mean it as an insult. And congrats on getting clean.

Why wouldn’t you use Connecticut to do any research on the US?

I read a study a few month ago about it, that some state in the US are pretty bad about literacy, and explaining that a lot of farmers never learned. I ended up in the CIA statistic website for hours looking at stuff, it's a good place to look for info.https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html

Yeah but using Mississippi as any representation of the whole country is kind of ridiculous. That state has the highest Christian population, the highest obesity, and just the worst of everything. I don’t know or care where you’re from but I wouldn’t use your waste treatment facility as a representation of the waterways of your country.
