American Oxford Thesaurus

literate

literate adjective 1 many of the workers were not literate: able to read /write, educated, schooled. ANTONYMS illiterate. 2 her literate friends: educated, well-educated, well-read, widely read, scholarly, learned, knowledgeable, lettered, cultured, cultivated, sophisticated, well-informed. ANTONYMS ignorant. 3 he was computer literate: knowledgeable, well-versed, savvy, smart, conversant, competent; informal up on, up to speed on. ANTONYMS ignorant. WORD NOTE literate "Not least, the prose is brisk, charming, and literate. " How often a writer intends this last adjective as a compliment, an accolade of the order of calling the style elegant and witty. But to praise an author's prose as literate is to offer faint praise at best. Sentences should always be literate —isn't that the rock-bottom desideratum of any writing? Moreover, the term is vague. Does it mean readable? That all the words in the sentences are properly spelled? Or is it a synonym for educated? Rather than resorting to this wan assertion of mere competence, as if the jowly novelist under review was still learning his letters from a hornbook, try to describe the actual style: This is prose that works hard to be amiable, almost good-neighborly, one working stiff jawing with another under the backyard shade trees. Better too much color and precision than the wearily ho-hum and lukewarm. — MD Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
