=====================
I would say good and increasing.  I base this on reported decreasing
literacy  trends in the general population in the U.S.  for all of
the usual reasons.  An apparent cultural shift from left-brained
logical thinking as a preferred or dominant mode to a greater role
for right-brained thinking which places importance on images among
other things.

Also anything (Pareto charts, control charts, flowcharts) that uses
both sides of the brain to process info is going to have a better
chance at communicating.

I had forgotten how, er, uhh, . . . "over styled" the Edsel was.  The
graphic allowed me to make my  "$0/No " . response all that much
quicker.
