Laying down the law

Welcome to the inaugural installment of “Grammar Monkeys,” the audio grammar guide by The Wichita Eagle’s copy desk. We’re going to start off with a common usage problem: “lie” versus “lay.”

    I enjoyed your first grammar podcast. Hope you tackle “good” and “well” soon!

    Very clear explanation — and funny too. And the bad examples explained why I get this confused so often. I’m looking forward to more.

    Thanks for starting the blog. The “lie, lay” lecture is one of my mom’s favorites, and she is happy to educate just about anyone foolish enough to misuse it in her presence.

    I love copy desks. Thanks again.
