A user on a website who lacks the proper literacy skills needed to communicate properly. They spell words with "shorthand" spelling, known as chatspeak. Words are spelled with singly letters, number replace letters in some words.

These people claim that they type that way because it's quicker & easier, which shows tell-tale signs of lazyness. They accuse people who type properly of being elitists.

In some circles, used as a synonym for incompotent in any way, regardless of any reading ability. For example, it could be used to describe a bad driver, someone who sucks at videogames, or someone who fails a test.
OMG, you illiterate n00b!

Someone who doesn't know how to read an emoji.
I sent Tyler an emoji and he didn't understand, so he asked me what it meant. He is clearly emoji illiterate, but I can teach him the meaning to all of them.
