See, I think you could weave it into English classes, too. The thing about English and English grammar is that it is taught as a series of "do this, not that," with rare opportunity to ever ask why. Does the average high school English teacher know why? Probably not, and they probably don't think it'd matter much. So you get these rote patterns for learning parts of speech, comma rules, semi-colons and the like, and I think it'd be better if we could give students some why, some background. Why are certain verbs in English irregular and weird? There's a good reason for it.

Blah blah blah historical English nerd blah blah blah. But I can't help the feeling that not having the background turns people's brains off more than anything...and in this one area, I know we can explain it. And I guess I'd like to try. Dunno if it'd succeed--my kids in 101 are already so turned off I can barely get them to mark nouns correctly--but can't help the urge to try, ya know?

Though I'd have to teach to a style guide, and that'd be tricky. But possibly worth it...
