This issue is being framed incorrectly. There are different types of literacy. For example health literacy, the ability to find and understand info about health. If you see an English speaking doctor, much of the terminology they'll use is Latin or derived from Latin. 1/

So apparently the newest complaint du jour is that it’s ableist if authors use big words in their books.
Now don’t get me wrong. I have read some books that were more tediously written than necessary.
But ableist? That feels like claiming victim status where no crime exists…
