Alliteracy Revisited

One of the most visited posts was one that I did on Alliteracy.
Illiteracy is best defined as the INABILITY to read, or at read fluently.

Alliteracy, on the other hand, occurs when a person CAN read, but does not. Alliteracy is becoming quite common. Increasing numbers of people seldom, if ever, read, unless there is no other alternative. They prefer text messaging to email, video to text, and get virtually all their news from television and cable.
