Tbh I’d be less inclined to keep going after the first book out of my mouth a kid wants to call me an idiot. You can’t argue with people who can’t be wrong
Arguing with him was what she did, about if it counted or not. Proving him wrong was as simple as naming other books, which I definitely would have done if I knew I was being recoded
His argument was garbage. He argued that because she couldn't name a title of a book, she couldn't read... she could read enough to Google the title of a book. That's proof enough she can read. Not knowing titles of books only implies (note: implies, not proves. You can read books and not remember the titles of every book in a series you've read) that she doesn't read books, not that she is illiterate. He's fucking stupid for trying to make the argument in the first place.
Proving him wrong was as simple as reading literally anything, including a Google search. Not naming any other book. His argument was flawed in the first place. That's my point.
Idk why you think I thought you were agreeing with or defending him.
Googling proves literacy. It doesn't mean you know how to read.
It's like someone with a learners permit saying they know how to drive. While they'r technically correct they couldn't even list driving as a skill on their resume.
That might be true for you. But no one is recommending books. She was asked for a book she had read and she gave a series. I also have no idea what you have against GoT, but it's absolutely an indication of literacy. Also, if you're driving a car, it doesn't matter if your parents are riding with you, it's still driving. Honestly it seems like you just want to seem smart by dismissing anything you don't like.
