1. The literacy rate is 97% in America, meaning 97% of Americans can read and write.
2. The difference between a literate roleplayer and an advanced roleplayer is that being advanced specifically states that you are good at writing (i.e. descriptions, characters) but literate just means you have good grammar, although they're often used interchangeably.

I got invited to a party at my friend Martha's house. You know, the rich girl who's related to the queen? Anyway, the party was a vanity fair.
What movie should we see? I'm thinking of seeing Vanity Fair. It's based on a novel I had to read in high school.

Get the strong suit mug.Any hentai that deals with girl getting raped by aliens with tentacles. It is named after a famous hentai film featuring tentacle rape.
One story claims that urotsukidoji became popular because it was illegal in Japan to show an uncensored penis. However, the law said nothing about uncensored tentacles. I'm not sure if this is true or not.
