LITERACY IN ENGLISH
Literacy is education, culture; reading & writing; polish, knowledge, competence.
In any country, the native language education is what is called literacy. Grammar is critical. Usage is critical. Writing is critical.
To put our best foot forward, we want to be knowledgeable and competent in our use of standard grammar and the vernacular- slang, buzzwords, terminology, etc., in both speaking and writing.
