http://ping.fm/PII6x A recent, careful analysis of the most extensive and statistically accurate study of U.S. adult illiteracy ever commissioned by the U.S. administration proves that the extent of functional illiteracy is much worse than previously believed. Functional illiterates must constantly endure serious physical, mental, emotional, medical, and financial problems that most of us would consider a crisis if they occurred to us. The excellent fresh is that there is a simple, easily-implemented, proven solution to English illiteracy which has never been tried in English -- much though the demand is greater than ever and much though the solution is immediately simpler to implement than ever.
