lay in the sun

[tzfujimino]

I've found this on Facebook.
Is it correct to say "Do you lay in the sun?"
Could it be a typo?

It's incorrect. It should be 'Do you lie in the sun?'

A lot of native English-speakers make this mistake.

It's not a typo. Fewer and fewer people make the distinction.

It's not a typo inasmuch as it is almost certainly the word the author meant to write. It is, however, the wrong word.

I am disappointed at the lax proofreading of the BBC. :-?
