I'm Facebook friends with a tenant or two and one of them posted his Match.com profile for his Facebook friends to see. I've long known he's not the smartest guy around and a terrible speller to boot, so when I read this I wasn't going to post it anywhere to make fun of him, but after he let Facebook in on his profile he wrote this:

Comprehension and reading level
Well-designed materials provide information that is easy for audience members to understand and to relate to their own interests and needs. Research tells us that to communicate effectively with a general audience in the U.S., we need to write at a 6th-8th grade reading level.
1992
The National Adult Literacy Survey, National Center for Education Statistics
Nearly 50% of the Americans surveyed cannot read well enough to find a single piece of information in a short publication, nor can they make low level inferences based on what they read
1993
The National Adult Literacy Survey, Educational Testing Service
75% of adult Americans with chronic health conditions scored in the lowest two literacy levels assessed
1994
Pediatrics, 3-94
The average reading level of American parents of young children is 7th or 8th grade, but 80% of pediatric materials for parents are written at the 10th grade level or above
1995
Emory University/UCLA study, reported in JAMA, 12-95
41.6% of American patients could not comprehend directions for taking medication on an empty stomach
26% were unable to understand information regarding when their next appointment was scheduled
50.5% could not understand a standard informed consent form
1996
"Physical Assessment: The Pharmacist and the Self-medicating Patient," Drug Newsletter
About 20% of the US population are functionally illiterate; for some subsets of our population, that rises to 40%.
1999
Education levels in the U.S.
About one in every four Americans (25%) is a high school dropout
About half (45%) have gone to college for some period of time, but fewer than one in six (15%) have a college degree
