Now back to our regularly scheduled thread already in progress...
@Young physicist perhaps you could develop an educational game from the notation to play with your classmates. If its clever enough it might even go viral. One strategy would be colpex triangle expressions on a card and the goal is the first to reduce it correctly.
I am reminded of the the Wff N Proof games of the 1960's where you used specially constructed dice to form valid logical expressions and then tried to prove them. We had a lot of fun playing it after school until the principal came by and told us it was illegal to gamble in school. We showed him it wasn't gambling but his authoritarian instinct told him that if it looks like gambling and smells like gambling then other students will do the same and the whole school will break out with gambling logicitis.
A wff is a well-formed formula. Now of course schools are more enlightened (actually the student of yore are the teachers today -- generational acceptance) and some encourage game play.
