Far as Badr goes, she's only really started to catch up on this once she formally started to study arcanima. It was mostly the Lalafell mentoring her who would often sit down with her to learn it all by heart. Much as I can imagine that even tribal keepers would need some kind of notation system to keep stock of things...and what have you, books would've been nothing but squiggles on paper to her younger self.
And Agrippa...probably the kind of education one gets in Garlemand - at least it would seem plausible that literacy is a lot more widespread. Probably doesn't hurt either that her family's rather well-off due to her mother's position in the military. Much as she is billingual, Agrippa still prefers to just write Eorzean rather than having to speak it, I just like to imagine that accents might be a thing.
