The Question: What Kind of Illiterate Are You?
Literacy on a global scale seems absurd
By standard terms, illiteracy means lacking the proper credentials to fit into modern society. But what if your literacy is someone else's illiteracy, and they mock your ignorance in their part of the world? Standards often ignore minorities, leading to conflicting definitions of literacy.
Literacy on a global scale seems absurd, while career-based literacy is more plausible. So, why judge? We set standards for the next generation, only for them to rebel.
Surviving in the modern world often means overlooking the opportunities it provides. Is communication a form of literacy? What if communication is understood without traditional literacy? Conversely, what if communication is misunderstood despite proper literacy?
What happens then?

The truth is j never condider anyone an illiterate, I belived everyone possesses a knowledge and probably knw what I don't know. If I call him an illiterate because he cant speak my language ,understand my work or certain things ,that means I will be an illiterate for not understanding his culture , accents and other stuff also
