What's incorrect is that there are situations when the subject is plural and
the object is singular, when you don't use {lu-}. You have to realize that
because of the nature of the mailing list, people will not necessarily see
your lessons as a series where each builds on the last, but can see them in
isolation, in which they can be incomplete and confusing.
