Another Pet Peeve instance
I have a huge playlist of everything in my music library, which plays music randomly in the background while I write. One song (which I didn't even know we owned!) just played, and filled up all my EEEWWW! receptors. It's called "Lay, Lady, Lay." So, the improper useage is IN THE TITLE. Because the verse goes on to say, "Lay, lady, lay--lay across my big brass bed. . . ." ARGH!
Is the difference between lie and lay THAT difficult to understand?
Of course, a song called "Lie, Lady, Lie" might sound like it has some entirely different connotations. . . . ;)
