These people post things like that and look at it and go, yeah, I'm happy to put that out on the internet that's a coherent sentence, with correct punctuation and spelling.
What is wrong with them?
How do they ignore all the red squiggly lines?
Next to their real name and face as well.
It's why I know the stats of 99% literacy rates are bullshit. I've been on Facebook. Half the people in my town seem to communicate online through the text equivalent of caveman grunts.
So the definition of literacy that they use for those stats is a super low bar. Like the bar is lying on the ground. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy defines literacy as "the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential." That's not a high bar to clear and the literacy rate, in the US at least, is still only about 80%.
The background is red it blended in
This is definitely a joke. But also, I don't fuck with Facebook anymore because it's got way too much cringe content
I'm thinking these sort of people look at those lines like some sort of challenge. "No line is gonna tell me I spelled that word wrong!"
