One of the topics I often find interesting is the evolution of the English language. "Rob's Words" on youtube often offers a fascinating history of it, and this is exactly the sort of topic that he would do a video about if the idea would only occur to him.

But one of the things i've learned about it is that usage eventually sets the rules, and over time "they's" might be considered correct English. :)
