Some young adults don't separate fact from fiction

The three Rs plus one - reality!
In my most recent letter, I was targeting young adults, not grade schoolers, when commenting on the Harry Potter fiasco. Most young adults and some older adults who should know fact from fiction, don't.

They are the ones who are due for a dose of reality. They are the ones who don't know fact from fiction. They are the ones who think Harry Potter is real and al-Qaida is a fairy tale!

If some people don't understand what they read (as evidenced in a recent “Two Cents” item on the subject), maybe he or she should take a course in English, if he or she can find a school that still teaches it.
