I wouldn't be on this board. I would have difficulties at work, since much of the information I have to look up is in English. Also, when colleagues use English expressions and I wouldn't understand it I would feel kind of dumb. So I probably wouldn't be in this job, but have another one, as a bus driver for instance. Then I still would have a problem when tourists would ask me something. So it would affect my life quite a bit, even though I'm in a non-English speaking country (Holland)

actually i have experienced both.
I was given a certain kind of poison that wouldnt allow me to read or understand one word after another.
it really dissrupted my mental ability to think for a whole season.

When i first bought a computer back in 1993, i typed so much that i forgot how to hold a pencil and couldnt write for a day. it was really awkward to experience such a thing.

I still have difficulty reading and comprehending, considering that it was my daily desire to read and study the scriptures for a minimum of an hour each day. Sometime More than that. I devoted most of my young adult life to studying scriptures.
but when i couldnt read anymore, i found that I could still remember most of mystudies and reference most of the doctrines by memory. In fact i know that most of the scriptures exist, but I need software to find them because i cant remember the exact verses anymore.

I would spend alot of time at home, it is the one place I would be most comfortable, I know all the things around me and I do not need to read them to know what they are, because if I didn't know, I wouldn't have bought them. I would try and find myself a tutor, through friends, family, a kind neighbor to spend time teaching me to read and write. Or even better, a kindergarten teacher, thats how we all start, right? I would slowly work my way up to a good understanding of the language and become a poignant and amazing writer.

Well, for one, my days on the computer would be done... and this would be a real bummer for me. However, that would leave me a lot more time to do what I love best... to go out and catch some waves on my surfboard and surf til' the sun goes down. No need to have to know how to read or write in English out there.

This question only gave you out as somebody who is caged in the US or the UK. in many other parts of the world there so many people who can not read and write in English but are well read. You find such people in Africa Asia and Saudi Arabia.

I would be around with people who write and read in my own language if I could not read and write in english, also I would take a class to learn how to read and write in english.
