boo, there are programs for that.  Go back to mexico or learn english!

"Millions of adults with limited reading skills have enrolled in literacy programs at high schools, libraries, workplaces and community colleges"

I think they are...

It does not say 1 in 20 americans are not literate.  It says 1 in 20 adults in the US are not literate.  This is vastly different.  I'm sure more than 5% of the US population is illegal, so this is really a nonpoint.  Stop illegal immigration and this problem will be solved.

I cant read what you guys are writing  :P

Sucks for them.  But at least I can do english good!

Church: What are you two guys doing?
Tucker: We're going to teach the alien how to speak English.
Church: How're you gonna do that? 
Tucker: People learn English all the time, [u]it aren't that hard[/u]. 
Church: Maybe you should try learning his language. 
Tucker: Fuck that, we got here first, and that makes this a colony.  Those're the rules, dude.  Earth colony, Earth language. 
Church: Tucker there's thousands of languages spoken on Earth. 
Tucker: Yeah, but only one that kicks ass.  And that's the one we're teaching.  English 101, remedial kick-ass. 

RvB rests its case.  ;)
