So you must be better read than 99% of Americans also. That's good for you as I have heard literacy rate in USA is dropping.
"A new federal study finds that an estimated 32 million adults in the USA — about one in seven — have such low literacy skills that it would be tough for them to read anything more challenging than a children’s picture book or to understand a medication’s side effects listed on a pill bottle."

That's a study by USA itself so can't blame propaganda on this.
