bai

 

Wrong.

 

According to the cia.gov website:

 

Canada:

Literacy:

Field info displayed for all countries in alpha order.

definition: age 15 and over can read and write

total population: 99%

male: 99%

female: 99% (2003 est.)

 

USA:

Literacy:

Field info displayed for all countries in alpha order.

definition: age 15 and over can read and write

total population: 99%

male: 99%

female: 99% (2003 est.)

 

Although these are 2003 estimates, they're probably pretty much the same.

 

So don't you come here with your 85% Canada literacy rate.

Also

 

Of those who wrote it for the first time, a total of 85% of Ontario's Grade 10 students passed the literacy test administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office, up from last year's 84%.

 

Grade 10 students in ONTARIO only; Ontario is a PROVINCE. This is ONLY 15/16 year olds.

 

 

Double post for the win.

 

EDIT because I didn't feel like triple posting:
