Self-Reference Suggestion

Have you ever considered changing self-references on cards from "Gravelgill Axeshark" to "This"? I think most of us reading this blog is pretty blind to it, but Magic rules text is very hard to parse for new players - I'm currently teaching my 7-year old how to play and this seems like the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to making cards with a lot of text more understandable for him.

The problem with “this” is there are a number of templates where “this” becomes ambiguous.
