      Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
               often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay
               and lie. Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its
               preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
               laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
               preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
               down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the
               preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid
               down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid
               at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was
               laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to
               remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
               of lay, and not of lie.
