    Much like the middle finger gesture is offensive because outside the US many people die to birds.

      That’s one way to misunderstand the sentence. Impressive. The USA preschool reading level isn’t a joke after all.

      Half of U.S. adults can’t read a book written at the 8th-grade level.

        You are replying to the most obvious of jokes, but even if it wasn’t a joke your response doesn’t really make sense. There is nothing in that comment that would imply that the person writing that comment misunderstood what you wrote.

        Are you describing yourself here or what?

        You made a snarky comment, I made a snarky joke in the same vein, you decide to bring in statistics (of the wrong country btw)? Why?
