26-year-old stepdaughter accuses her dad's wife of being illiterate after she took a month to fill out her dad's FMLA forms: 'You know you’re illiterate so let me just do the paperwork'

Far more adults in the United States are functionally illiterate than you may realize. 54% of US adults have a literacy rate below a 6th-grade level, and about 43 million are functionally illiterate. Being functionally illiterate doesn't mean you don't know how to read at all. It means you have a literacy rate that makes dealing with everyday situations and most jobs difficult. For instance, if you can get through a paragraph but can't summarize what it's about or remark on its content at all, you might be functionally illiterate. 

Illiteracy is a huge problem that cannot be solved quickly. As the television show What Would You Do taught me, nothing good comes from shaming somebody for not knowing how to read well. The woman who posted this to Reddit clearly didn't see that episode because she struck an incredibly low blow with her stepmom after she failed to fill out FMLA forms for her dad.
