Certainly, but I don't see a reason to name a whole group just by virtue of
some of its parts ("synecdoche", if I can remember correctly).
It's not just an issue with illiterate adult people, but also with special
people with some mental disabilities.
Bottom line, I don't think a menu should be named in order to match a target
audience, in the same sense there isn't any 'gamers', 'office workers'
or 'administrators' menu. So, something la "Pre literacy" (instead
of "Illiterates") should be generic enough.
PS=Thanks for the 'illiterate' hint.
