Did I say "most" or "all", Ivanna?

A core function of Literacy is to read something, and repeat it back (voice or text) word-for-word, letter-for-letter. It seems that most Westerners cannot do this. It should be easy, especially through textual interface, which the internet was/is built for. All you have to do, is press the 'Quote' function, and you should be able to reproduce what others have said. But it seems, most are incapable even of this.
The first part of Literacy is Copying text and integrating it into memory, something the ancient Greeks and Hellenes were particularly skilled and proud of, hence their exceptional skill in Philosophical Dialogues and conversation.
The second part of Literacy is Interpretation, which means proving that you understand the Intent of the Author, the Author agrees with your re-wording, and that you have a response or reaction beyond the interpretation. Without Understanding, there is *NO LITERACY*.
You have not understood the Author.
You CANNOT even repeat what the Author did say or write.
