Yes but they are for literate people.

From insidehighered.com Jan.18, 2022.
“According to a 2021 Pew Research survey, roughly a quarter of American adults—including 38 percent of Hispanic adults, 25 percent of Black adults and 20 percent of white adults—say they haven’t read a book in whole or in part in the past year, whether in print or in electronic or audio form.”

Two stories: A woman I knew who was a nursing assistant in a large hospital said a woman asked her for someone else to help her find her time card, saying “I forgot my glasses.” Someone helped her (her job was in cleaning).
Every day.

I was in Kroger and a nice lady asked me to advise her on what the two different sale prices for the sizes of the same thing meant. Asked me if the numbers meant it was better or worse to take the one she was considering. I think it was buy one get one free versus a percentage off the other one.
I helped her.

Sad these people are coping at this vulnerable level. They need help.

Sorry, forgot to include this one:

Nationwide, on average, 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2022.
