<snip me and Helen talking about learning second languages>

They are not alone;

In September, 1993, the most detailed portrait ever available on the
condition of illiteracy in this nation was released by the U.S.
Department of Education.

Huh? Between us in this thread Helen and I have spoken of learning, as
a second language, Welsh in Wales, English in Korea, Mongolian in
Mongolia, Portuguese in Portugal, and Maori in New Zealand. Which
"they" are you talking about? In what way are they not alone? What has
second language learning got to do with illiteracy?

If you're responding to a point one of us has made, then it'd be clearer
if you snipped the quoted material to only show that point and your
response.

OTOH if you're only here to plug your blog without regard to the fact
that we're real people trying to have a coherent conversation here,
then... well, please don't.
