Will I seem crass, now, if I address the lie/lay conundrum? At the risk of doing so, it's this: 'lie' is intransitive, or whatever -- it's what things do. 'Lay' requires an object. So, you lay a book on the table, but the book lies on the table. Thanks for letting me address my biggest grammatical pet peeve. And for making me laugh.

At least until you publish them in a book. I suppose putting the comments in book for would be difficult, as you would have to ask permission of everyone involved, and I doubt some people, like "the angry mom" would be happy about it.<BR/><BR/>Hope you and Floyd have a great 2009!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835596563370939343.post-68229815738692251522009-01-05T23:24:00.000-08:002009-01-05T23:24:00.000-08:00Thank you!Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835596563370939343.post-61095929137591575012009-01-05T22:03:00.000-08:002009-01-05T22:03:00.000-08:00A great thought and good musing on it because word...A great thought and good musing on it because words are a dynamic life form of communication and without change to suit the need of thought, words can be trapped in a language soon to be dead.

My uncle was a successful artist who passed away about six weeks ago. In the last year of his life, while he was suffering from cancer, he created 56 new pieces. He openly expressed regret during the final days of his life that he was unable to get all of his ideas out.<BR/><BR/>So go ahead and be anti-social.
