It’s also crazy to realize something you think to be common knowledge turns out to not be common knowledge. We learned about the four humours in high school English because it’s relevant to analyzing older texts. I don’t think I know anyone IRL who don’t know what they are.
Well, lots of folks here, who speak English as a second language. I had my analyzing-older-texts classes in German, where these humours were not relevant to the best of my knowledge. I once heard about them in psychology class, but that’s about it.
English is also my second language, but I still remember learning at least a little bit about it. Maybe it was in history class, or maybe it was as part of the introduction to germ theory in natural sciences class
