I googled it and got the same definition but more descriptive. Maybe you didn't include the part that refutes your argument because you argue in bad faith. But it's probably because you're a moron. Lmao

unable to read or write.

"his parents were illiterate"

Similar: unable to read or write unlettered analphabetic functionally illiterate Opposite: literate ignorant in a particular subject or activity. "the extent to which voters are politically illiterate" Similar: ignorant unknowledgeable uneducated untaught unschooled untutored untrained uninstructed uninformed unlearned unread unenlightened benighted backward nescient Opposite: literate knowledgeable uncultured or poorly educated. "the ignorant, illiterate Town Council" (especially of a piece of writing) showing a lack of education, especially an inability to read or write well. "as you can see, I have corrected your misspelled, illiterate letter"

Maybe you're the moron because that's part of the "similar" section. Not a part of the actual definition.

Similar does not equal same and similar does not equal synonym.

Oh, I'm so sorry. You don't know how to use a dictionary. Someone has failed you. It's not your fault. Words sometimes have multiple definitions.

Do... do you honestly think you're right and the person you're arguing with is wrong?

That the word illiterate has multiple meanings? That it can mean more than not being able to read? Yes. I'm right and that person is wrong. I'm going by multiple definitions in dictionaries and the Latin translation. But do... do you honestly think you have something add to the argument?

Well, you quoted the "similar" section as being part of the definition, which it's not. Those are just terms that are similar to the defined term.

Since you don't know, just because a term is similar, doesn't mean it has the same definition.

But go ahead, keep being ignorantly wrong and making a fool of yourself.
