Taken as meant! I don't know if things have changed (the curriculum seems to change about every 6 months at the moment) but when I was at school, there was very little 'pure grammar' taught, and I find that English people generally don't know the names of things in their own language.
I'm a grammar geek, and am lucky enough to have a beta who is too - so much bouncing went on when we discovered that we both knew what a gerund was :)
