More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.

Scroll down for samples.
More realistically, it would be stuff like
rainbow color, because ball is gay on Saturday and it's only blue on Tuesdays because of cisheteronromativity that is enforced at it's workplace.
