I do. Don't you? I could have crucified you about your sentence structure but I didn't. That's called "refraining". I held back my initial impulse to have a great deal of fun with you. Are you implying that I don't know what "refrain" means? If so, please demonstrate how.

"What were". What were what? What
we were, maybe? Now, I'm going to start having fun with you. Put down the headphones man. Focus.
Wow. I asked you a specific question about a specific set of conditions. The "functionally illiterate" person I was referring to could read and write his own name and that was about it. Not "completely illiterate" but "functionally illiterate". However, he wasn't the focus of the question, just the inspiration for it. So, I hope you can understand how I can ask a question about one thing that was inspired by a similar thing but not exactly the same. With me so far?
Sigh. Nevermind. I can see you are so desperate to score internet ego points you are tripping over your own words. Go have some tea and take a breather.
