Mercenaries reading and writing levels

Heavy: Heavy can read well at a more normal reading level when it comes to Russian books and literature but he can't read English books or literature so easily, he'd probably need a thesaurus in order to understand some of the words or need someone to explain what it meant so he's more comfortable with Russian books. Heavy's writing is pretty average too but again he mostly writes in Russian and even then he doesn't write often.

Sniper: Sniper's reading and writing levels are okay, he can read just fine but his writing is sloppy because he doesn't really care about it.

Soldier: Soldier can't read or write at all and won't even try too hard, he'd rather take action than read something.

Scout: Scout also can't read or write very well so he mostly draws pictures to express what he wants to say, he can barely spell his name and that's about it.

Medic: Medic can read and write, he needs to if he wants to be able to write down his thoughts or read an important medical record, his reading level is a little more experienced than the normal reading level and his writing is mostly just wiggly lines on a page aka how most doctors write.

Engineer: Engineer has an abnormally good reading and writing level but it's mostly scientific and educated words, he's surprised a lot of people because of it, it's mostly thanks to his 11 PhDs and his writing is very neat and easy to read.

Spy: Spy's Reading level is excellent but more focused towards poetry and etiquette more than anything, his writing is in a fancy cursive and very distinguishable from everyone else's.

Pyro: Pyro doesn't even know how to read or write because they enjoy more picture books and drawing than anything, granted their drawings look more or less like a child's drawings they still prefer them as their main way of communication other than their muffled speech.

Demoman: can't read or write well, his level is equal to that of a 1st graders thanks to him being drunk all the time, although he can get a few words written down if he puts dedication into it.
