"Visual literacy" is the word I would use...
But then you can't contrast it against being able to read. I'd need to know what they want visualcy to mean, really.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He essentially said that it could be treated with "vitamins" (no, I'm not kidding).
Yup. Scientologists believe ailments can be cured with niacin.

Always Anti-fascist!
Softy. "Hey Jude" is my favorite McCartney, though. I'm not sure, ita. Is there a word for that? They've sure not found it, though, in "visualcy"

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Can you use it in a sentence, please?
"The sterling place settings were complemented perfectly by the visualescence of the stained-glass lampshades."

I have a big hate-on for Tom Cruise at the moment because of his dumbass comments on PPD and the "dangerous" drugs women are taking. He essentially said that it could be treated with "vitamins" (no, I'm not kidding).
This is a MAJOR Scientology thing. Scientologists are, by philosophy, anti-drugs of any kind, and believe (almost like some wierd Christian Scientist offshoot) that most health and mental problems can be treated with vitamins and Scientology.
I say "by philosophy" because, like any person of faith, there can frequently be a divergence between belief and practice -- i.e. I know of a few famous Scientologists who also take recreational drugs they are theoretically opposed to by their religion/philosophy.

Wow, Lilybean is going to have some classmates in common. That name has spiked off the charts.
I'm hoping it and Lillian stay nestled in the bottom half of the top 100.
If not, she has two middle names to choose from, if it bugs her.
