I'd meant to post earlier, but there's a glitch on mobile that locks the browser at the top of the page and prevents down scrolling. That, and I kept forgetting to post via a computer.
Anyway, I'm one of the vast majority that doesn't think literacy is length. I know better. Literacy refers to the quality of your writing, not the quantity. Typically, I'll ask for decent spelling and grammar within about a paragraph and a half. In my "Let Chaos Take Control" RP, I specifically stated that the length requirement (7-8 sentences) was to give the other players something to respond to while not requiring a ridiculous amount of filler just for one post.
My personal opinion on the matter is that if you spot someone using "literate" to refer to length, politely take them aside and explain the difference between the two ideas. If they don't listen, their loss.
