Affirmed. See All Fla. Sur. Co. v. Coker, 88 So. 2d 508, 511 (Fla. 1956) (“If a person [who signs his name to an instrument] cannot read the instrument, it is as much his duty to procure some reliable person to read and explain it to him, before he signs it, as it would be to read it before he signed it if he were able to do so, and his failure to obtain a reading and explanation of it is such gross negligence as will estop him [from denying its contents.]” (quoting 12 Am. Jur. Contracts § 137)).
