why is this wrong [#permalink] New post 28 Feb 2007, 17:19
During the middle ages, literacy was defined as reading and writing latin

While I agree 'the ability to read and write' in place of the underlined portion is certainly better, I am not sure why the above scentance is wrong. Any ideas ?

literacy (noun) is being compared to a verb
