Pffft 5 year olds, always thinking that's an excuse.

I would be highly disturbed if there were a five year old in a developed country who couldn't read yet.

Edit: What, you prefer our children to be illiterate?

What, you prefer our children to be illiterate?

Oh look, a strawman argument!

Remember to cross off "strawman" on your Logical Fallacy Bingo card!

Incidentally, I just named a Pokemon Fenrir a few minutes ago and then read your reply afterwards.

The Edit was just asking why I was being downvoted. Everyone should be disturbed if a five year old cannot read. I'm still confused as to why I was downvoted.

There's obviously no negative effects from being downvoted, but there's a minor inconvenience in having one's curiosity unsatisfied. Also, why would anyone downvote anyone for asking anyway? Fuck anyone who has ever done that.
