NO!  That would be blatant discrimination against Illiterate-Americans, a disrespectful expression of Lexile-privilege.  Out with it.

This would be a violation of the sacred American value of meme-ownership.  Out it goes.

I have Victorian era ancestors, Episcopalians all the way back.  I would be so offended.  Out.

Too late, that future is already happening.  Reference Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four.  Read it and weep.
