One problem is that kids, at least in the UK, are taught to say "one plus one" not "plus one one".

Sure, but when I was new to Lisp, I mentally read it as "add one to one". The first element of the expression is a verb, not a preposition.

This might be good thing to discuss in a tutorial aimed at kids.
