wtf is this shitty medium "article". It has footnote numbersbut they're not links and there's no actual footnotes.
Please dont post this garbage here.
Citations are linked at the bottom:
It's alright if you're American though
Did they really cite a fucking reddit post
Top comment on that post is actually decent it seems, describing the problems with the numbers as reported by a similar study
Why the fuck cite a Reddit post tho lmfao
Right, at least cut out the middleman and cite the study directly.
Although on second thought if they wanted to provide examples of uneducated yanks, there are few better places for that than reddit comment threads. So maybe it was a good move after all.
next week's article "we used a reddit post as a cited source in an article about literacy and no one called us on it"
Thats not visible. Perhaps its hidden for users who dont use JavaScript
