TWTS: When it comes to "lie" and "lay," even English professors get confused

  • サマリー

  • Even for speakers who feel solid about the distinction between "lie" and "lay," they may lose that distinction when "low" is added to the mix. Recently, one of Professor Anne Curzan's colleagues texted her to say they wouldn't be attending a meeting. They said they were trying to finish an article and would instead be "laying low." That last part jogged Curzan's memory.
