(Snooze...) Sorry! Overslept and missed it.
Crystal does make the point that linguistics (or at least "knowledge
about language" in some organized form) is still missing from most

some organised form, and indeed in my jurisdiction it tends to be the only way
schoolchildren get any formal insight into English grammar.
