Y'all might be interested to look at a one of my pages. (Yes,
it's self-promotion, but it may be good also for corrections!)
It's a grammatical aside note on middle voice in Drasel=E9q, with
three theories (supported by three different [fictional] scholarly
factions) about its function and 'correct' usage.

If you didn't know, you'll learn, and if you know more than I do,
you'll correct (I hope, in both cases).
