IFF - maybe I can put it another way, RE: how Shakespear "harms" children.

I'm a math teacher, and I'm teaching addition. Except I'm teaching decimal, binary, hex all at the same time, and I will interchangably teach switch between them. Sometimes, 1+1=2, sometimes 1+1=10, sometimes 4+8=12, sometimes 4+8=B. English is a skill used to communicate, so we're used to communicating in one way. We're creatures of habit. Now throw in a whole bunch of obtuse language, styles and ways things are done (some of which contract what we're "supposed" to know)... and when you are young, it confuses the hell out of you.
