Many people these days apparently just do not know how … what I understand as basic grammar and syntax … how that works.
Of course, that may have something to do with many teachers just literally teaching books by reading aloud or assigning the actual cliff notes summary, instead of the actual book.
Average adult US literacy levels are approximately that of a 5th grader.
Most people are very nearly functionally illiterate now, roughly 15% are at or below a 2nd grade level, so they actually are functionally illiterate.
