I have always been baffled by this question

Why do we call someone who doesn't know how to speak English an illiterate(despite he/she having a great knowledge in order areas of life) but most of us do not know how to speak our own language?

I have experienced many occasions whereby the governors, presidents, MCs, Presenters, etc, made a mistake in their speech and some group of friends/people started laughing and calling names.

My questions is this:- Who is an illiterate; A person who knows how to speak his language well and still able to communicate in a foreign language( though not fluently) or a person who doesn't know his language?

If speaking English means literacy, what happens to a country like Togo, China, etc( where English is not their official or main language). Does it mean that they are all illiterates?

What do you understand by the word ILLITERATE?

Wel i think 1 who has no brain

Sme1 who is unable to understand the concept of humanity & humans, in other words, a bigot
