| Hello! Well, I thought the right answer was "nevertheless", because It'doesn't sound good, 'nonetheless", bye! |

| Hi everyone, This is Ali here, I'm a newbie and joined this website/forum just now, and boom! I already have a question. I've heard americans say, 'I'm going to lay down' where as it should be 'I'm going to lie down'. I understand it might be simply a colloquial way of saying it, but it sounds so ridiculous as if they have never been to school. why so much ignorance? |

| Ali, you made me laugh out loud here! I was aware of the colloquial use or maybe wrong use of lay and lie, but to ask it the way you just have was hilarious!hehehe |

| The 'lay down' usage is also found in some regions in the UK. |

| It is very common in the Midwest US. It took me years to correct the habit and I still slip at times. Is there a 12-step program for this? |
