I can imagine! I had one module at uni about the industrial revolution with a focus on the Midlands, and while the topic itself wasn't that interesting I didn't mind so much because it was something different.

*winces* I wouldn't argue with you. Supposedly someone in my year (around GCSE time, I think) filled out an English exam in chat/text spelling. I don't know how true that is but it still depresses me. :(

(Might be a good idea, yes. :D)
