What would you say to an "illiterate"? How would you help him/her?

You can only help someone who wants help.  Best to spend your time and energy searching for and helping those who are seeking it.  The others you can work to expose them to the benefits of reading and learning, but you cannot help them if they do not want it.

Can't read, write and spell?  Unfortunately that happens to a quarter to a third of people even those that are "educated" in the public school system.  Graduates of high schools that cannot read and write, essentially functionally illiterate, are commonplace.  \n\nHaving said that, you must realize that the only person that really cares about you is you.  If you insist on blaming everyone else for you shortcoming you will ultimately fail to progress.  Get your sorry ass  into night school or get a private tutor or a free adult literacy program, by any means necessary, the help is out there and the decision is yours to make.

man do i agree, I'm 58 and  although Ive gotten some savy responses from you younger folk , most of the time i"m not sure if my responders even have a clue as to what I'm asking do to their poor reading comprehension. for example above me is  "Young hot scank"'s   non responsive reply... who needs that ?? totally childish remark , yeah maybe you misspelled a word, but your question was quite clear.

Send them for professional help, buy them a good book.  Don't get too involved with them until they get their head straight.

Please use a dictionary, form your words slowly.  If you don't know English I don't know your language.

People like this "Mars" person have serious communications issues, and being functionally illiterate does not make it any easier to get along in the world. I would say to the Mars person that you are in no position to say anything unless you know how to say it in some form that other people can understand. It is obvious that Mars is trying to say something, but because the command of the English language is so poor it is almost impossible to ascertain exactly what it is. Mars needs to spend more time learning how to read and write in English.
