You don 't even know the meaning of the word illiterate. If I was truly illiterate, I would neither be able to read posts or create posts. No matter how much you might disagree with what I post, the fact that I do post is proof by itself that I am not illiterate. You are truly an asshole and a jerk and also a moron.
