Exactly so!
If literacy were to be measured on a running scale, however, there would be many things that could cause us to be "less literate." Such as putting down a book to eat or to sleep. I don't know about you, but I am
hopelessly illiterate while I'm sleeping. Embarrasingly so. I only hope that all of that watching and listening to my dreams doesn't permanently affekt my abilty to comperhand stuffs.
