Come on Jane, the society is not illiterate, its just that most
people (85%) can't read or write. The ones that can, do it for a
living, and generally are very, very good at it. I should say that
in the clan I put together, the scholar had an ongoing niggle with a
lot of the men who didn't want there sons (nevermind daughters)
getting involved in reading and writing as it wasn't manly and they
had chores to do! No good can come of it was the oft heard saying
at moot when old Brouthar brought it up (again)!
YHCMV of course!
