Literacy

“Literacy: means ‘capable of reading and writing’.

Being “Illiterate’ means incapable of reading and writing.

Being “Literate” means ‘Well Read’ OR ‘he can read and write’.

This is another one of those terms where we need a demarcation to prevent conflation.

illiterate “can’t read” > literate – “can read” > “literate – well read”.
