I don't hold literacy as a reason for any possible changes in the number of people playing MUDs. I was merely addressing the claims that literacy in this country is 97-98%, which is far from the only figure that could be cited, as your post points out through the various aspects of literacy.
Neither is reading a menu, eviction notice, or flyer mentioning your trash day the primary purpose of literacy. Literacy has a wide variety of uses, many of which require a greater competancy than simply reading a simple flyer or menu.
But this is a digression of the original post which isn't about literacy but about attracting and retaining players on MUDs.
Take care,
Jason
